MINUTES OF THE DIOCESAN CONVENTION
November 4-5, 1994
The 96th Annual Convention of the Diocese of northern Indiana began with a
glorious conventual Mass at Trinity Church, Ft. Wayne, Indiana, at 6 p.m., November
4, 1994, the Right Reverend Francis C. Gray, Bishop of the Diocese, Celebrant and
Preacher.
After the Mass the company gathered at the Grand Wayne Center for fellowship
and the annual convention banquet. Mrs. Susan Miller, parish church consultant and
advisor to the House of Bishops of the Church from Neptune Beach, Florida, was the
speaker. The burden of her address was for parishes to create the kind of environment
in which new people can be welcomed and brought within the fellowship of the parish.
The business meeting of the Convention was called to order at 0906 on Saturday,
November 5th, in the Great Hall of Trinity Church, with prayer by Bishop Gray.
The Rev'd Harold Comer, chair of the credentials committee, reported that there
were 54 clergy and 89 lay delegates present. Bishop Gray declared a quorum present
and the convention organized for business.
Bishop Gray then asked convention to seat The Rev'd Charles Hensel, who is on
license from the Diocese of Chicago, and is the interim rector at Gethsemane Church,
Marion. Convention agreed to his request.
The Rules of Order, as amended by the last convention, were adopted by motion
and vote.
Bishop Gray moved next to the appointment of Convention Officers. The Bishop
nominated the Rev'd Canon J ohn Schramm to be the Secretary of Convention, and Mrs.
Sharon Katona to be the Treasurer of the Diocese. Convention voted its approval. Next,
the Bishop appointed Mr. David Wright to be Chancellor and Mr. Joe Weaver as
Parliamentarian.
Bishop Gray called the attention of convention to his appointments as printed in
the delegates' convention packet (and reflected in the directory printed above).
The Bishop next asked for a change in the order of items printed on the convention
agenda and moved to the report from the Committee on Nominations.
Mrs. Nancy Moody, chair of the committee, moved acceptance of the slate of
nominees printed and mailed to the delegates. The Bishop called special attention to
the detail of the printed report which suggested that in the election for delegates to
Provincial Synod, in order to come into accord with the new canons, that one lay person
be elected for a three year term, one for a one year term, one as a three year alternate,
and one as a one year alternate. It was further suggested that these four should be
elected in that order according to the number of votes, with the highest vote-getter
receiving the three year term. The recommendation of the nominating committee was
approved as printed.
Now nominations from the floor were taken. Only one nomination was made: that
of Mrs. Anne Donnelly for Cathedral Chapter. Now the vote was undertaken for all four
elections: directors of the Northern Indiana foundation (one clerical member for a
three-year term-The Rev'd Robert Fitzpatrick, nominee; one lay member for a three-
year term - Mr. William Bissell and Mrs.. Suzanne Stiene, nominees): Members of the
Greater Cathedral Chapter (one presbyter for a two-year term - The Rev'd Stephen
Gerth and The Rev'd Teunisje Velthuizen, nominees; one lay member for a two year
term - Mr. Mel ring and Mrs. Anne Donnelly, nominees); Members of the Standing
Committee (One presbyter for a three year term - The Rev'd Canon John Schramm and
The Rev'd Michael Basden, nominees; and one lay member for a three year term - Ms.
E. Lloyd Bane, Mr. Richard Donnelly, and Mr. Robert Douglass, nominees); and
Delegates to the provincial Synod (Mrs. Anne Donnelly, Mrs. Cynthia Guzzo, Mr. Randy
Powers, and Mrs. Nancy Wiese, nominees).
15
An announcement was now made on behalf of the exhibitors: "Please stop by to
look at their wares." Materials on marriage encounter are also available at convention
through The Rev'd Robert Deshaies.
Special thanks were now made to Mr. Wayne Peterson, Director of Music of Trinity
Church for the wonderful service music, both at the Mass last night and at Sung Matins
earlier this morning. Thanks were also offered to the Rector of Trinity Church.
Bishop Gray now called for the Treasurer s Report. Mrs. Sharon Katona came
forward to call attention to the report mailed previously to the delegates. As is her
custom, she announced that medical insurance costs will increase by 7% next year.
This amounts to $54 per quarter for a single policy and $123 for a family. There were
no questions about the report, so it was allowed to stand as printed.
Now Mrs. Susan Miller was introduced again for a special presentation. She
continued to speak about the importance of the environment of the parish for
newcomers and about some of the difficulties of church growth. Then she went on to
talk with members of the convention about the life cycle model with regard to parish
life. She made a strong case for the idea of parallel development, that is, helping to
maintain the interests of long time members while seeking new things to attract new
ones. She also spoke about the different skills needed for different phases in the life
cycle of the parish church. After he presentation, convention recessed for a coffee break
at 1027.
When convention resumed at 1042, Susan Miller made convention aware of
certain national church publications which can be helpful with regard to the matters
she spoke about.
The Bishop next introduced clergy new to diocese: The Rev’d David Ottsen, who
has come to begin a new church on the south side of South Bend ; The Rev'd J . P. Carver,
who is the Rector of Holy Family Church, Angola; The Rev'd Deacon Barbara Carver,
located in her ministry at Angola; The Rev’d Megan Traquair, Assistant at St. John of
the Cross Church, Bristol; The Rev’d Chuck Hensel, Interim at Gethsemane Church,
Marion; and The Rev'd Deacon Janice Miller, teaching in South Bend and located at
St. Michael and All Angels Church, South Bend. In addition to new clergy, seminarians
Mr. Carl Gilliam, preparing for the diaconate, and Mrs. Linda Hughes, studying for the
priesthood were also present and introduced.
Bishop Gray reported that one member of the diocesan clergy was lost by death
during the last year: Dom Leo Patterson, monk of St. Gregory's Abbey, Three Rivers,
Michigan. Prayers for repose of his soul were offered.
Bishop Gray called for The Rev'd Dabney Smith, Chair of the Committee on New
Congregations, to come forward. He called attention to materials submitted with
resolution #3, and moved the adoption of the resolution: to admit Christ the King
Church, Huntington, to parish status. Convention received the recommendation,
unanimously approved it, and gave the new parish a standing ovation. The Vicar, The
Rev'd Peg Harker, addressed the convention and praised the work of the congregation
in reaching this goal. She presented Bemiece Kline, one of the three original women
who helped found the parish, and was herself confirmed by Bishop Gray's grandfather.
Now Mr. Mel Ring, senior warden, spoke to convention and praised the congregation
and the diocese and the work of former vicar. The Rev'd Curtis Ross, as well as current
vicar Peg Harker.
As soon as members of Christ the King had taken their seats, a report of the tellers
was made. The following were elected: The Rev’d Robert Fitzpatrick and Mr. William
Bissell to a three-year term on the foundation; The Rev’d Stephen Gerth and Mr. Mel
Ring to a two-year term to the cathedral Chapter; The Rev’d Michael Basden to a three-
year term on the Standing Committee; and as delegates to the Provincial Synod: Mrs.
Nancy Wiese to the three-year term, Mrs. Cynthia Guzzo to the one-year term, Mrs.
Anne Donnelly as the three-year alternate, and Mr. Randy Powers as the one-year
16
alternate. For the lay member of the Standing Committee a run-off election was held
between Mrs. Bane and Mr. Donnelly.
Now Bishop Gray presented his annual address, (vid. infra.)
After the Bishop's Address, The Rev'd Stephen Gerth presented and moved the
report of the Committee on Constitution and Canons: Resolution #1. The purpose of
the resolution is to allow parishes which desire it, to elect their delegates to convention
at their annual meeting. In addition, the amendment calls upon parishes and missions
to have delegate lists to the Secretary by May 1st. The resolution was unanimously
approved.
The Bishop now called upon certain persons to make special presentations
regarding certain facets of diocesan life.
The first to come forward was Mr. Ted Haas, member of the Young Adult
Leadership Team, who spoke about current diocesan youth ministry. He ended with
an appeal for support, especially for parents to encourage their children to attend youth
functions.
The new archdeacon of the diocese, the Rev'd Deacon, now The Venerable, Rich
Miller came next to talk about diocesan deaconal work and especially to pay tribute to
the work of Deacon Sarah Tracy, retiring archdeacon. Deacon Tracy came forward to
a standing ovation and was presented with a card and notice of a contribution of over
$700 to St. Margaret's house made in her name by diocesan deacons.
At 1152 Noon day prayers were said and presentations made to the three new
congregations in the diocese, Monticello, Wabash, and South Bend. Each received a
book of Eucharistic readings: an altar missal, a chalice and patten, and a church
register. Noon day prayers served as a commissioning of those who are to work as the
leadership in the development of these new missions: The Rev'd Susan Blubaugh, The
Rev'd Robert Bizzaro, and The Rev'd David Ottsen.
Just before convention recessed for lunch, it was announced that Mrs. Lloyd Bane
was elected to the Standing Committee.
After directions for lunch, the company was dismissed for food at 1207, with
prayers for the blessing of the food by The Rev'd Frank Moss, Rector ofTrinity and chief
Host of convention.
Convention resumed at 13 10 with the announcement of The Rev'd Canon Bradley
McCormick's 80th birthday party scheduled for St. Thomas Church, Plymouth,
November 13th. It was also announced that the Family Picnic planned by the ECW for
July and advertised at the luncheon was for the year 1995, not 1994. Thanks were
expressed to the people who had prepared the luncheon and to Trinity Church in
general for all the work done to make the convention a success. All the Trinity workers
were given a standing ovation (these were very big today).
Presentations now continued with The Rev'd David Ottsen, new mission priest in
the diocese. He spoke about the new mission, Christ church, 5802 S. Miami, South
Bend, and shared the vision statement and the five convictions upon which the
foundation of Christ Church is based. These are: 1. We live in a world that is hurting
and hungry. 2. We have something to offer this world: Life in Jesus Christ (lived through
the power of the Holy Spirit to the glory of our Father). 3. We are enabled to offer Jesus
Christ by being who we are. 4. The fundamental ways we become who we are, are
through worship and small groups. 5. We call for a commitment into a Covenant
Relationship with God with Christ's disciples and the other members of Christ's
Church. He also left convention with a wish list: prayers; use of an RV, a fax machine,
flags and poles, and Initial Sponsors for the VALUE community newsletter.
Mr. Jerry Funes, director of Calumet Episcopal Community Services next spoke.
He talked about the distribution of food and clothing to needy families, about referral
to other agencies, about a physician who will treat the indigent free of charge and
pharmaceutical companies they have found who will provide free medicine. He shared
17
his vision for a shelter in which to house people and to provide the services needed.
Now ECS is operating out of his garage and they are pressed for space. ECS needs the
support and prayers of the diocese.
Now for the budget: The Rev'd Richard Kallenberg, chair of the finance committee
was called to present it. Since the 1995 proposed budget had been distributed
previously, questions were called for. There was some conversation and approval for
the budget was moved. The vote was unanimous for approval.
Now came a resolution from the Fr. Wayne deanery (Resolution #4). Since it had
been presented after the cut-off deadline, even though it was reported out of the
committee on resolutions without comment, convention had to vote to allow it to be
considered. Convention did so and after some debate, the resolution, moved by The
Rev'd Frank Moss for the deanery, passed.
Now came the time for Courtesy Resolutions, presented by the Hon. E. Spencer
Walton, (vid infra.) All passed unanimously.
The Rev'd Frank Moss asked to speak as a point of personal privilege. He expressed
appreciation to Bishop Gray for all of the work on the Forward in Faith campaign. His
commitment was more for a full year than for the three months for which the
consultants asked. He expressed his opinion that the success of the diocese is largely
dependent on Bishop Gray's leadership. A standing ovation by the house for Bishop
Gray seemed to indicate that most everyone felt the same way.
The Bishop expressed his thanks to Canon Seger for his work and convention
expressed its concurrence with applause.
There being no further business, convention adjourned sine die at 1410 with the
singing of the doxology.
Respectfully submitted
The Rev'd Canon John E. Schramm
Secretary to Convention

THE BISHOP’S CONVENTION ADDRESS
1994
What a great joy it is to be in this building and to have our Diocesan Convention
at Trinity Church during their sesquicentennial. The vitality of this congregation is an
inspiration and we are indebted to the rector, clergy and members of Trinity for this
convention. This year marks a turn in direction for us as a diocese, beginning with this
convention. With minimal resolutions to address, we have the opportunity to hear from
our speaker twice. I trust the material Suzy Miller presented will be of help to you as
you return home. For me, the greatest value of Diocesan Convention comes from
hearing the stories of our life together. This is a time to remember the past, celebrate
the present and anticipate the future. Thus, this address will be divided into these three
parts.
PART ONE. The most recent events that have happened ; indeed, continue to
happen, are that we have begun work in three new locations all within the year of 1 994.
I will describe these three missions chronologically.
Late last summer, the Reverend Susan Blubaugh asked permission to begin
conducting services in Monticello. She took out several advertisements in the local
newspaper and in August, eleven people met to organize as a fellowship group. They
chose the name St. Mary's Fellowship, so we now have a congregation named in honor
of the Blessed Virgin Mary. On October first, I made my first visitation to St. Mary's
and it was a joy to do so. I look forward to the future and am pleased that, once again,
there is an Episcopal presence in Monticello.
More recently, I asked the Very Reverend Robert Bizzaro, retired Dean of our
Cathedral, to begin work in Wabash. It has long been a desire of mine to have a church
in Wabash, which is the largest county seat in the state not to have an Episcopal
Church. Dean Bizzaro goes down to Wabash once or twice a week, and hopes to have
his first organizational meeting soon. This work is being supported and encouraged by
the Wabash Valley Deanery. The name. Church of the Resurrection has been chosen.
Our third new congregation is taking form in south St. Joseph County. This has
been in the planning stages for over a year, and indeed, Mr. Jack Hickey and I have
been looking for property south of the by-pass in South Bend for over two years.
Recently, Jack and rosemary Hickey donated three acres of land on South Miami Street
and the diocese purchased an adjacent house for a church house. On October first,
the newest priest in our diocese, the Reverend David Ottsen, began his ministiy at what
will become Christ's Church. David, his wife Deborah and their daughter Carrie moved
from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and have purchased a home. This was very much a
diocesan effort, in that the committee for Congregation Revitalization and Development
served as the search committee.
I have found Father Ottsen to be a person of prayer and vision. He began his
ministry by taking time for prayer and reflection on the vision and biblical basis for this
new congregation. The name Christ Church came from this time. You will hear from
Father Ottsen later today, and I know that your enthusiasm for this work will be as
real as is mine.
David Ottsen, Susan Blubaugh and Bob Bizzaro have met together and will
continue to do so. Each is a pioneer and each will draw other pioneers into this ministry
in the coming years. It is important for us to know that the function of new
congregations is not for us to move active Episcopalians around. We are trying to
increase the Kingdom of God and bring new people into a saving relationship with
Christ. It is also important to say that much of the impetus of this work came from this
convention through the work of the Congregation Revitalization and Development
Committee and forward in Faith.
19
Speaking of Forward in Faith, it was successful! The campaign began in the fall
of 1 993 and concluded in the summer of 1 994. We have met our goal of one million seven
hundred Fifty thousand dollars and already $465,000.00 has been received. This
should be a great time of celebration for this diocese and I want to take this time to thank
all of the people who assisted in accomplishing this effort and especially General
Chairman Bob Bullock.
There are some things which must be said about this campaign. First, most of the
money is pledged, and not in hand. Therefore, it may be a couple of years before we
are able to make grants and loans for projects. It must also be noted that $400,000.00
of this total is in planned gifts: that is, insurance policies which will come to the diocese
at some future time. Further, $60,000.00 are gifts given to specific congregations. After
expenses, the total available to the diocese will be $ 1 ,200,000.00 which is a wonderful
legacy for us to build upon. As has been mentioned, we are already building upon this
through our new ministries.
I must also say that with two or three exceptions, most of the congregations
participated. While it is regrettable that some of our congregations did not participate,
sixteen congregations made their goals and several others were close. The campaign
is not over, and people can still contribute.
PARTTWO: What are we doing in the present: things that are happening right now.
1) Ethics in Ministry. For the past eighteen months, a committee under the
direction of Dean Mann has been meeting to develop ethical guidelines for this diocese.
There will be clergy days scheduled on December 7th, and 10th and all clergy are
required to attend one of these sessions. Subsequent days will be held in the future
an ultimately there will be regularly scheduled days for new clergy and for all laity
working with youth.
2) Congregational Revitalization. The diocese is having reprinted a book entitled
Power From On High which is a model for parish life and development. Diocesan
Council has approved its use for all congregations who ask for reductions in
assessments, and it will be used by our new congregations as well. I hope that this
resource will become a standard for the development of the life of our congregations.
For further information, talk with the Reverends John Schramm or Tina Velthuizen.
3) Budget. Our budget this year is a veiy good one, and reflects the full payment
to the National Church. The South Bend Deanery resolution has been withdrawn due
to the fact that the General Convention reinstated the full missionary asking. As the
Chair of World Mission for the House of Bishops, I am very pleased and I urge you to
pass this important budget.
4) Archdeacon. As of this convention, the Venerable Sarah Tracy will cease to be
the archdeacon. Sarah has resigned and will stay on to finish the academic year for
the School for Faith and Ministry. I am appointing the Reverend Deacon Richard Miller
as archdeacon and you will hear from Rich later in this convention. However, I did want
to briefly comment on the remarkable ministry of Sarah Tracy. Most of the deacons who
serve in this diocese were raised up under Sarah's tenure, and ours is one of the Finest
cadre of deacons in the church. Their training is superb and each has a servant
ministry. Further, Sarah is the founder of our well respected St. Margaret's House. St.
Margaret’s offers day time shelter and hospitality to over Fifty women a day, all because
of Sarah’s vision. Sarah is at present serving as the president of North American
Association of the Diaconate. Further, she is the deacon at St. Paul’s Church,
Mishawaka and is widely used as a teacher and spiritual director. Our diocese is deeply
indebted to Sarah.
PART THREE: To Do.
1) Youth Leader. I am appointing a committee for the selection of a new Youth/
Christian Education leader. This person will begin employment in June or July of next
20
year. I have asked Archdeacon Miller to chair this committee, which is representative
of youth and adults and has geographical balance as well.
2) Structure. In my convention address last year I named a Committee on
Structure to study our diocesan committees and make recommendations to me as to
how we can best use the talent we have in Northern Indiana. The committee contacted
every diocesan organization and examined each in its relationship to the mission of the
diocese. In the final report to me by the committee it is clear that we need a better way
for the several committees to be more accountable to the Bishop and, in those instances
where it is appropriate, to the Convention. It is also clear that we are not making as
good of use as we might of our human resources.
Over the course of the next year, all committees, other than those elected by the
Diocesan convention, will be evaluated. Members of committees will be added, reduced,
or changed in order that we can make better use of the available talent. Each committee
will have stated terms of service. Members of a few committees will serve at the pleasure
of the Bishop. Clear lines of accountability for each committee will be established.
In order to do all of this, I need your help. My office (in the person of Canon Seger)
is in the process of contacting every ordained person in the diocese asking each how
he/she can best serve. Ideally, every ordained person should be involved in some kind
of service in behalf of the diocese. After eight years of visitations to each of our
congregations, I am very much aware that there are talented lay persons who could
serve the diocese if they were asked. I need your help to identify these persons so that
we can make use of their gifts.
3) Catechumenate. I wish to encourage the work of the task group on the
catechumenate under the leadership of Clifford King Harbin. This fall, I attended a
retreat on the Adult Catechumenate and am encouraged that more congregations are
involved in this ministry. Many of our congregations are requesting confirmation in
Eastertide; a fitting time for this year long process of commitment.
4) Wawasee. In the past year, we have developed a site pan and long range goals
for the church and conference center. The conference center building is in good shape
and is under the able direction of Sharon Chase, a member of St. John of the Cross,
Bristol. However, the church building is in deplorable shape and needs to be replaced.
It is my hope that we can raise the necessaiy funds to do so in the near future. As we
have just completed a capital campaign, we will not start another one. However, the
needs are great for this, our conference site, and I invite ideas from you as to the
construction of a new chapel.
5) Nancy Moody. On December 18th, I will install Nancy Moody as an Honoraiy
Canon of the cathedral. Nancy has served this diocese and the broader church for many
years and this is a modest way to honor this great person of faith. Her accomplishments
include: first woman seated at General Convention in 1970, eight time Deputy to
General Convention, member of Executive Council, Program Budget and Finance. In
the diocese she has served in almost every leadership capacity possible.
6) Lenten Series. This Lent, I plan to do a diocesan wide teaching series on the lord’s
prayer. For four Tuesdays Wednesday and Thursdays, I will travel to six separate
locations to do teachings at noon and in the evenings. For sometime I have wanted to
spend more time as a teacher in the diocese and this will provide such an opportunity.
7) Planned Giving. I commend the Stewardship Committee for its fine work and
ask that this committee begin thinking about a planned giving officer (part-time) for
the diocese. Such a person would be primarily a resource for local congregations.
I conclude this address with some personal remarks. 1994 has been a very
strenuous year for me. In rapid succession, I have participated in a major capital funds
drive, the wedding of my daughter and General Convention in addition to my regular
responsibilities as Bishop. I want to bear testimony that all of this could not have been
done without the ever present grace of God and the unstinting help of my staff. Each
of them has given extra amounts of work and support and the staff does not get the
21
same public affirmation as the bishop. Please thank them.
I also bear testimony to the constant love and encouragement of Karen. This
F ebruary we will have been married thirty years and Karen is the greatest gift God has
given me. Her ministiy to the clergy spouses, her incredible presence at so many
Forward in Faith dinners and all the extra things she does for you, for me and for my
staff appear in no budget. Yet give she does, and principally to me as her husband and
to our family. Thank you Karen.
As I complete thirty years of marriage, twenty- five as a priest and eight as a bishop,
I am thankful that God called me to this ministry and that all of us are called to be his
people - his Church in this fair and lovely place, Northern Indiana.

THE DIOCESE OF NORTHERN INDIANA, INC.
Independent Auditors' Report
Warner, Armstrong & Jones 525 West Washington Street, Suite 100
South Bend, Indiana 46601
(219) 234-1100
To The Council
Diocese of Northern Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc.
South Bend, Indiana
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet (cash basis) of Diocese of Northern
Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc. as of December 31,1 993 and the related (cash basis)
statement of support and revenue, expenses and changes in fund balances for the year then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform and audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statements presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
As described in Note 1 , these financial statements were prepared on the cash basis of
accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted
accounting principles. The Diocese also does not record capital assets and the related
depreciation.
In our opinion, except for the effects of not recording capital assets and related
depreciation, the financial statements of Diocese of Northern Indiana of the Episcopal
Church, Inc. present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position as of December
31, 1993, and its support and revenue, expenses, and changes in fund balances for the year
then ended, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.
The additional information included on pages 8-11 has been subjected to auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

DIOCESE OF NORTHERN INDIANA OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1993
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Purpose and Presentation
To take, administer and dispose of in accordance with the laws and constitutions and
canons of the Episcopal Church of United States of America, and more especially of
the constitutions and canons of the diocese of Northern Indiana of the Episocpal
Church, Inc., properties of all kinds, character and types, real, personal and mixed
tangible and intangible for the benefit of the ecclesiastical body known as the Diocese
of Northern Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc. The Diocese covers a georgraphical
area in Northern Indiana spreading East to the Ohio border. West to the Illinois border,
North to the Michigan border, and South to Marion, Indiana. The Diocese includes
thirty-six parishes.
Basis of Accounting
It is the policy of the Diocese to prepare its financial statements on the basis of cash
receipts and disbursements. Under this method, revenue is not recognized until it is
received, and expenses incurred are not recognized until they are paid. This is a
comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting prin¬
ciples.
Capital Assets
It is the policy of the Diocese not to recognize equipment as a capital asset, but to
expense it when purchased. Therefore, no depreciation expense is recorded. This is a
departure from generally accepted accounting principles.
Investments
It is the Diocese's policy to preserve capital, hence investments consist primarily of
Treasury notes in an investment pool. All investments are carried at their market value.
The market value at December 31, 1993 is $693,155 and the cost basis of the
investments is $674,542.
Retirement Plan
The Diocese has a defined contribution retirement plan. Individual contracts with the
church pension fund are purchased for all qualifying employees. To qualify for the
retirement plan, an employee must be a full-time salaried employee of the Diocese. The
retirement plan expense for the year ended December 31, 1993 was $24,281.
Income Tax Status
The Diocese is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal
Revenue code and under a similar state statute. Therefore, no provision has been made
for income taxes in the financial statements.
27
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
NOTE 2 - NOTE RECEIVABLE
St. Stephen’s Missionary Church. Inc. makes payments of $250 per month on a secured
note dated April 6, 1989, with a remaining balance as of December 31, 1993 of $46,425
and interest at 0%.
NOTE 3 - FUND ACCOUNTING
To ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of the resources
available to the Diocese, the accounts are maintained in accordance with the principles
of fund accounting. This is the procedure by which resources for various purposes are
classified for accounting and reporting purposes into funds established according to
their nature and purpose. Accordingly, all financial transactions have been recorded
and grouped by fund. Fund balances and Diocese activities are reported in the following
groups:
Expendable Funds - are available for use at the discretion of the Council to
support general and administrative operations. They include Operating Funds and
Restricted Funds.
Restricted Expendable Funds - are restricted by the Council for particular
activities and/ or programs. The following are restricted expendable Funds:
Episcopate - An endowment fund for operations was established as
required by the National Church. The interest is used for operations.
Reserve - An endowment fund established as an emergency reserve for
salaries of the bishop and staff in case of any interruption of income from the
congregations. The Council must approve any reduction in principal. The interest is
available for general operations. An amount is budgeted each year to increase the
reserve.
Venture in Mission - These funds are from a prior fund drive. The interest
is available for operations.
Sabbatical - The Council has established a fund to provide for the Bishop
and Canon's sabattical.
General Convention - The Council has established a fund from which to
pay for the Bishop and seven other people to attend the National Convention which is
held every three years.
Lambeth - The Council has established a fund from which to pay the
expenses of the Bishop attending a Lambeth conference in England every ten years.
Historiographer - The Diocese has a historiographer fund from which to
pay such expenses. The Diocese currently does not have a historiographer.

percentage of the annual budget (4% for 1 993) should be utilized for new church plants

Delphi Fund - This fund is from the Delphi church (no longer in existance) .
The original donor restricted the interest for sustaining a choir. By court order, interest
now is available to the Diocese for operations.
Krause Fund - The income may be used by the Bishop "for capable young
men going into ministry or in the ministry". The Bishop uses the income for education
expenses such as books and conferences.
Christ Church Gary Seminarian’s Fund - The donor was the church in
Gary, Indiana. The principal came from the funds on hand when it closed. The interest
is to be divided equally to seminarians from the Gary area each year. If no seminarians
from the Gary area exist, then it is to be given to other seminarians in the Diocese of
Northern Indiana. Funds are disbursed as requests are made to the Bishop.

PROGRAM COMMITTEE REPORTS
REPORT OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE
Purpose of the Committee
Article IV of the Constitution of the Episcopal Church provides that a Standing
Committee be elected by the Convention of each diocese to be the council of advice to
the Bishop. The Constitution and Canons of the Church and of the Diocese of Northern
Indiana assign the Standing Committee a role in the process of approving persons for
ordination and the stewardship of the Church’s real property. The Committee serves
as the Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese when there is no Bishop or Bishop
Coadjutor in charge of the Diocese. The clerical members of the Committee constitute
the Ecclesiastical Court in our Diocese for the trial of a Presbyter or Deacon.
In our Diocese the Committee consists of six persons, three priests and three lay
persons, who serve a three-year term. Members of the Standing Committee may seiwe
only two consecutive terms and may not serve on the Diocesan Council. Eveiy year the
convention elects one priest and one lay person to this Committee.
Report on the final meeting of the committee
before the November 1993 Convention
(Not included in the Report printed in the Journal of the Ninety-Fifth Convention)
At a meeting on October 23, 1993 the Standing Committee voted to recommend
to the Bishop Carl Gilland, a Candidate for Holy Orders, for ordination to the Diaconate,
and to shorten the period of candidacy to six months.
The Committee voted to recommend to the Bishop to make Linda Hughes, a
Postulant for Holy Orders, a candidate.
The Committee received from the Bishop correspondence from the Bishop on the
renunciation of the Ministry of this Church by the Reverend Carl Bell on September
20, 1993. The Committee had advised and consented for the Bishop to accept this
renunciation in accordance with the Canons.
Meetings, Membership and Officers of the Committee
The Committee has met six times since the 1993 Convention. The members of the
Committee are Mrs. Nancy Wiese (1994), Mr. Jack Mapes (1995), Mr. David Nash
(1996), the Reverend Canon John Schramm (1994), the Reverend Richard Kallenberg
(1995) and the Reverend Stephen Gerth (1996). At its first meeting following the close
of the 1993 Diocesan Convention on November 1993 Father Kallenberg was elected
president and Father Gerth was elected secretary.
Consents of Episcopal Elections

encumbrance by a mortgage of the churchyard and buildings of the Church of Saint
John of the Cross, Bristol, and for the Bishop to mortgage the property and building
on Miami Street, South Bend, that is to be the parish office of a new mission
congregation.
Respectfully submitted.
The Reverend Stephen Gerth
Secretary
REPORT OF THE CONGREGATIONAL
REVITALIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
1994 has been a rewarding year for the Congregational Revitalization and
Development Committee. As was stated in last year's convention report, our purpose
is to help all of our congregations maintain the mission focus of what it means to be
the Church of Jesus Christ both within existing assemblies of the faithful and outside
our parochial structure. We have seen exciting evidence of progress throughout 1994
in fulfilling our mission.
First, I am pleased to report that two well-attended workshops were held in our
Diocese in 1994, to present ideas and experiences on church growth, theology, skills
and techniques. The seminars were conducted by The Rev. George Martin, an
experienced church planter from St. Paul, Minnesota. (Fr. Martin is also well known
for his work with the Episcopal Ad Project). A number of congregations from our diocese
were represented at these seminars, and the feedback received fro the participants was
overwhelmingly positive.
We are planning more workshops for 1995. These workshops will also be designed
to present ideas to existing congregations interested in revitalization.
Secondly, we have made real progress in developing two new congregations in our
Diocese:
(1) The Rev. David Otteson has been hired to start a new congregation in the
southern part of St. Joseph County. Officially beginning his work here in October, the
Committee is enthusiastic about Fr. Ottsen’s presence here. We ask that members of
our Diocese keep Fr. Ottsen and his family in their prayers as their new ministry begins
in our Diocese. Other opportunities to support this ministry will surely be forthcoming.
In addition, the Diocese has also received a donation of three acres of land in
southern St. Joseph County. A house on land adjacent to this donated parcel has also
been purchased by the Diocese. The house and the land represent a physical presence
for our Diocese in the area targeted for the establishment of a new, program-sized
congregation.
(2) The Very Rev. Robert Bizarro has also begun an exciting new ministry.
53
Supported both by this Committee and by the Wabash Valley Deanery, Fr. Bizarro has
begun work (on a part-time basis) on developing a new congregation in Wabash. We
are excited about this effort, and we are optimistic about the potential. Again, we ask
that our Diocesan family pray for Fr. Bizarro as he begins this new ministiy.
I am personally grateful for the dedicated and hard working members of the
Congregational Revitalization and Development Committee. We should all be thankful
that we are blessed with persons who give so much time and effort to help build our

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSION ON MINISTRY, 1994
The Commission on Ministiy has met eight times since the Diocesan Convention
of 1 993 at our regular third Saturday of the month meeting time. One of those meetings
was our annual retreat and the other was a joint meeting with the Standing Committee
with whom we share responsibility for screening aspirants for ordination. During the
course of the year, we interviewed three aspirants for the diaconate and one for the
presbyterate.
In our role as a committee to screen people for ordination, we interviewed the
following people: Anne Dorgan, St. Anne's, Warsaw; Gordon Samra, Trinity, Ft. Wayne;
Betty Jo Boyer, St. Paul s, Mishawaka all of whom are interested in the Diaconate, and
Dan Hamby, St. Michael's, South Bend, whose academic preparation for the Presbyterate
we certified to the Standing Committee.
One major accomplishment of the commission on Ministiy this year was a
complete revision of our guidelines for screening people for ordination. We are
especially indebted to Canon David Seger for the many hours he spent in preparing
drafts and making revisions on the final document. Copies of the guidelines are
available from the diocesan office.
During 1995, the Commission will schedule a Ministry discernment Conference,
the details of which will be announced later. This conference is required of all who are
considering ordination and is open to any in the diocese who would like to explore their
own lay ministiy as Christians.
Currently, the diocese has two people in seminaiy: Linda Hughes from Trinity, Ft.
Wayne, a senior at Seabuiy Western; and Brian Grantz from St. Michael's, South Bend,
ajunior at Sewanee. Dan Hamby from St. Michael's, South Bend, was ordained a priest
in June of 1994 and is the new executive director of the consultation on Church Union
in Princeton, New Jersey.
Two Commission members resigned during the year. Dr. Paul Griffiths and his
family moved to Chicago, where he is on the faculty of the University of Chicago. Paul's
keen intellect and his skills at leading our Discernment Conference will be deeply
missed. Deacon Sarah Tracy also resigned the Commission. Her years of invaluable
service to the diocese in this capacity will be long felt and appreciated. She was
succeeded by Deacon M. Richard Miller.
1995 will be a continued exploration of our role in this diocese and of the growing
need to be more creative about the ways in which we identify, train and deploy people
for ministry. ^

REPORT OF THE NORTHERN INDIANA FOUNDATION
Nineteen ninety-five and the upcoming years will be busy years for the Founda¬
tion. The Bishop has charged the Foundation with the responsibility of managing
assets from the Capital Fund Drive recently undertaken by the Diocese. Currently,
there is $90,832.00 that has been received from pledge income. This has been allocated
to New Congregations, Congregation Revitalization and Outreach. As you can see from
the attached financial statement of the Foundation, substantial funds have been
received.
The directors of the Foundation have adopted a policy to assure preservation and
growth of the principal. The policy generally states that 10% of the interest income
earned on the principal will be preserved so that only 90% of the interest income will
be available for grants.
Because of this policy, parishes will need to be patient for a couple of years so that
the principal can begin earning substantial interest for use.
During the year 1994, an application for a grant by St. John of the Cross of Bristol
was conditionally approved. The request was for a grant of $6, 000. 00 (however, because
only $4,000.00 of income was available, the Foundation determined that the additional
$2,000.00 would be treated as a loan if modification was acceptable to the applicant).
Additionally, a $10,000.00 loan was requested by St. John the Evangelist of Elkhart.
The loan was approved and the terms are being negotiated with St. John by the
treasurer.
The future of the Foundation promises to be exciting. Given the success of the
recent fund drive, substantial assets should soon be available for parish use.

After several dormant years a new Committee on Theology and Liturgy was created
in the latter half of 1994 for the purpose of providing the Bishop with reflective study
and information regarding the Sacrament of Confirmation. Many parishes in the
Diocese of Northern Indiana seek a clearer understanding about the nature, meaning
and purpose of Confirmation and its place in the life of the local faith community. An
increased interest in the Catechumenate has fueled the need for further reflection and
diocesan planning. At present, this is the sole issue the Bishop has given the committee
to study. The committee serves at the discretion of the Bishop and addresses the
concerns brought to it by the Bishop and his office.
THE GREATER CATHEDRAL CHAPTER
The Greater Cathedral Chapter is comprised of two laypersons and two clergy,
elected at Diocesan Convention, to serve two year terms on the Cathedral Chapter. One
clergy and one lay person is elected each year. Members attend all regular meetings
of the Cathedral Chapter and are invited to participate in any special events involving
Chapter leadership (annual workshops and special programs).
As a Cathedral Parish, we recognize that there is a dimension of ministry and
leadership beyond being a parish community. This reality was reflected in the
development of our Mission Statement in January of this year.
As Children of God, called to be both parish and cathedral,
we experience and proclaim the power of the Holy Spirit, by
which we grow in Christ, serve one another and bear
witness to Him in the local neighborhood, the larger commu¬
nity and the diocese.
The Greater Chapter Members provide an important leadership connection
between the parochial work of the cathedral and our larger commitment to the life of
the diocese. Each of the three members have made important contributions to the work
of the Chapter this year — especially as we continue to evolve new styles of leadership.
Greater Chapter Members receive regular mailings of business concerns and develop¬
mental literature pertaining to our work. Attendance at Chapter meetings and
functions has shown both commitment and real interest on the part of our extended
members.
As an off-going Greater Chapter Member, we extend our special gratitude to Fr.
Shelby Scott, who has provided insight, initiative and creative ideas during his two
years of service. Fr. Chiles has worked carefully with us in the development of our Root
Group ministry to the youth of the Cathedral — serving as a member of the Root Group
Advisory Board. He has provided valuable resource. Mrs. Boyer has provided both
experience and business ideas in the context of our regular meetings. Cathedral
Chapter members count our Greater Chapter members as an integral part of the
57
leadership team.
As the Cathedral Church of St. James celebrates the 100th year of the church
building, we look toward the second century of life and leadership within our diocesan
family and beyond. We invite your participation and input in our service as a House
of Worship for the diocese and a place of gathering for our many ministries.
In the service of Christ Jesus,
The Very Rev. Frederick E. Mann
Dean of the Cathedral

REPORT OF THE YOUNG ADULT LEADERSHIP TEAM (YALT)
Members:
Ted Haas, Trinity, Logansport, Chair (1995)
Julie Cockram, st. Michael and All Angels, Secretary (1995)
Ashton Smith, St. Michael and All Angels, Executive committee (1995)
Matt Masterson, St. Anne's, Executive Committee (1995)
Ann Carboneau, Interim Youth Coordinator
The YALT meets two times each year and the Executive committee also meets
twice. These meetings are used to brainstorm ideas for upcoming youth events and plan
for existing events. YALT members are selected based upon their participation in youth
events and willingness to serve. Membership is split among the deaneries.
This has been a year of transition for youth. Brian Grantz left for seminary in
August and Ann Carboneau began in July as the Interim Youth Coordinator for one
year. All youth programs will continue as scheduled for the next year. A permanent
Youth Coordinator should be in place by June, 1995.
Several programs were successful in 1994. One Hard Night Cafe raised roughly
$1500 for The Gary Youth Project and the Presiding Bishop s Fund for World Relief.
The Gary Youth Project enjoyed the highest participation in its history. All the team
members were touched by their experiences working in the inner city of Gary. Summer
Camp was expanded to include all who applied, even expanding to another facility for
sleeping. Over 120 campers gathered to celebrate the Genesis story.
In 1995, Summer Camp will move the Alexander Mack Camp in Milford, IN. This
facility, run by the Church of the Brethren, will accommodate more campers and the
facilities are fantastic. Any other program changes will be made jointly by the YALT and
the permanent Youth Coordinator.

ST. MARGARET'S HOUSE ANNUAL REPORT
St. Margaret’s House continues to be blessed with the leadership of Kathryn
Schnerder and the dedicated volunteers who provide their willing hands and heart to
help meet the needs of our guests who come to the center each day.
Highlights from November 1993 to October 1994 include:
*A Thanksgiving dinner for 60 guests
*A Christmas party for 180 women and children, all of whom received gifts through
the generosity of the diocesan parishes
*An Easter dinner for 50 guests with holiday baskets provided by St. John of the
Cross, Bristol
*A four-minute videotape produced by Father Steve Gibson, SCS, and Father Steve
Schuneman that tells the stoiy of St. Margaret's House through the voices of
guests, volunteers, and diocesan leaders
*A photo-quilt that features the many people at SMH and was created by hand under
the guidance of Maiy Fran Brandenberger
*A volunteer retreat under the leadership to the Rev. Megan Traquair
*The gift of service from Notre Dame summer intern Mettie Vethayathil, who
assisted with the children and in many other areas of SMH
60
‘Board member and vice president Barbara Wilson was honored as "Super-
volunteer" during the South Bend National Volunteer Week celebration
‘School supplies for over 40 children were donated for the 1994 school year
‘Individual art projects are on-going through a grant from Children's Dispensaiy
Very Special Arts Indiana
‘Other grants were received from Womenfest, the Crop Walk, and Michiana Arts and
Science Council
‘Became a member of the Northern Indiana Food Bank
In addition to the above, The Rev. Tina Velthuizen continues to lead the women
in group discussions on spiritual issues; free haircuts are given by Debbie Barajas fro
St. Michael and All Angels'; birthdays are celebrated each month; free blood pressure
and blood sugar tests are given; round table discussions are held for guests to give input
re: the center; and a therapist from Family Learning Center meets with individuals and
small groups each week. The children's area was redone to better accommodate the
needs there, and kitchen and office equipment and furniture were purchased.
A UTO grant that was awarded at the General Convention in August will allow for
programs on prevention of child abuse; a self-esteem series conducted by a YMCA social
worker; a Bible-based study on spirituality; an expansion of children's summer
activities including a Notre Dame intern, crafts and program supplies, and a picnic/
trip to the zoo; first aid/CPR training for volunteers; and two volunteers’ retreats
during the year.
Helping women find and then commit themselves to drug rehabilitation programs
and to find resources when they have been burnt out an lost everything are two key
ways that the center serves the community. But the most important work continues
to be that St. Margaret’s House is a place where women (and those with children) can
find safety, serenity, friendship, and support through the caring presence of the staff,
the volunteers, and the other guests.
The existence of St. Margaret's House and its ongoing operation could not be
without the support and commitment of the parishes in the Diocese of Northern
Indiana and the people in the neighboring communities. For their generosity and
thoughtfulness, we ask God's continued blessings.

THE REPORT OF THE PRESIDING BISHOP'S FUND
FOR WORLD RELIEF COORDINATOR
Throughout the past year (November 1993-November 1994) the diocesan coordi¬
nator has endeavored to promote and coordinate fund activities within the Diocese of
Northern Indiana. Major concentration has been in two areas:
1) Recruitment of Parish Reps. A variety of strategies have been utilized previously
in am effort to recruit parish reps with little or no success. However, this year the
coordinator enlisted the assistance of ECW deanery presidents and to-date thirteen
(13) reps are "on board".
2) Annual Appeal. The success of the Annual Appeal is somewhat based on the
necessity of parishes following detailed instructions as well as a timeline. The Diocesan
coordinator's responsibility is to re-confirm such instructions, timeline and guidelines
as distributed by the Church Center and this we did.
61
PRESIDING BISHOP’S FUND FOR WORLD RELIEF COORDINATOR (Continued)
As a member of the ECW Diocesan Board, the coordinator gave a report at the
Summer Fair. The report detailed activities at the 1 994 Annual Network Meeting. DFC's
(Diocesan Fund Coordinators) visited the site of the Los Angeles riots, California
earthquake and fires. The gratitude of those who have benefited from the generosity
of the fund is overwhelming. To hear first-hand accounts of those who suffered great
trauma and loss of property due to these natural disasters is traumatic even to the
listener. The Rt. Rev. Chester Talton, Suffragan Bishop, Diocese of Los Angeles made
a presentation on the Los Angeles riots. Once again, the benefactors of the Fund are
most grateful.
In summary, I can only echo the theme of the 1994 Annual network Meeting and
that is, the Fund is "responding to those in any need or trouble" and with this one
thought in mind, we encourage full participation in the Annual Appeal which will take
place the latter part of January.

Charlotte A. Strowhorn
Diocesan Coordinator
THE NORTHERN INDIANA CURSELLO COMMUNITY (NICCO)
The Northern Indiana Cursillo Community (NICCO) has held several functions
since the last Convention. A three-day Cursillo Weekend was held in May of 1994 at
the Oakwood Retreat Center in Syracuse. Anne Dorgan was Rector of that weekend,
NICCO #2 1 , which welcomed 1 4 new members into our Community. Plans are already
under way for NICCO #22 which will be held in May of 1995 again at Oakwood.
The Secretariat, the co-ordinating committee of NICCO, is made up of lay persons
and an ordained advisor. The Secretariat meets monthly to plan and coordinate NICCO
functions. Members are elected to serve three-year terms. Elections were held in May
and the current Secretariat members are as follows: Lay Director Hill Richardson,
Trinity, Ft. Wayne; Lay Director Designate Chuck Dorgan, St. Anne's, Warsaw;
piritual Advisor Deacon Sarah Tracy, St. Paul's, Mishawaka; Spiritual Advisor
esignate Fr. Derek Harbin, St. Andrew's, Kokomo; Secretary Laurie Thompson, St.
John the Evangelist, Elkhart; Lany Fisher, St. Alban's, Ft. Wayne; Ted Kimball* St
Alban’s, Ft. Wayne; Jerry Klein, St. Andrew’s, Kokomo; J. W. Windy Miller, St Anne's
Warsaw; Cheryl Ostermeier, St. Andrew’s by the Lake, Michigan City; Juanita Tebbe,
St. Andrews, Kokomo; and Darlene Wedge, St. Michael and All Angels, South Bend.
Our Treasurer is Barb Cassis, St. Andrew's, Kokomo. Outgoing members Dave Betz,
St. Paul's, Mishawaka; Mary Lou Bizzaro, St. James', South Bend; Georgette Senter,
Michigan City; and Carl Gilland, Trinity, Ft. Wayne, are to be commended for their time,
dedication, and effort well spent on this committee and in the Cursillo Community.
The Secretariat held two two-day sessions of the Day of Deeper Understanding and
Workshop this past year. These workshops were held to better enlighten and
strengthen the Cursillo Community of this diocese and to train members to serve on
teams for future weekends.
Ultreyas, gatherings of Cursillistas and non-Cursillistas in a deanery, and other
small groups continue to meet throughout the Diocese. A Reunion Ultreya was held
at st. Anne's in Warsaw following the May weekend. Other Central Ultreyas were held
throughout the Diocese. The Secretariat thanks those parishes who have opened their
doors so that our meetings may be held in your churches.
Cursillo is a movement within the Church made up of members who continue to
serve the Lord through NICCO functions and in many areas of their own parishes and
communities.

THE BISHOP'S AD HOC COMMITTEE FOR ETHICAL GUIDELINES IN MINISTRY
Members:
Mr. David Wright, Chancellor - Trinity Parish, Ft. Wayne
The Rev. David Seger, Canon to the Ordinary
The Rev. Michael Haas - Trinity Parish, Logansport
Mr. Brian Grantz - Diocesan Youth Ministry (resigned summer 1994)
Mrs. Jill Basden - St. Anne's, Warsaw
The Very Rev. Frederick Mann, Committee Chairperson - Cathedral of St. James
The committee was formed in 1993 to address the need for developing guidelines
and a handbook for ethics in ministry as mandated by the Church Insurance
Corporation. The first year of work laid the foundation for developing an ongoing
program to meet national criteria for integrity in pastoral and program ministry.
During the major portion of this year, a writing and research team worked through
nearly eight hundred pages of documents, guidelines and educational material with
the goal of creating written guidelines for our diocese that would be succinct while
meeting the requirements that have been established by Church Insurance Corpora¬
tion (CIC). With ongoing input from The Rev. David Rider (CIC), The Rev. Chilton
Knudsen and Mrs. Carol Nyberg (Diocese of Chicago), and Mr. Fred Swing (Vice
President, CIC for this region), we have developed the initial guidelines document. The
research/writing team, for this phase, consisted of Fr. Haas and Dean Mann.
Each diocese of the Episcopal Church is required to have in place a document that
includes the guidelines, format for educating and training clergy and lay employees as
well as those working with youth, and a system for background checks for all clergy
and lay employees for the previous five years or two employments (whichever is
shorter). A diocese has one calendar year from the anniversary date of its insurance
coverage to have the full ethical system in place and operational. At our current rate,
we are well within our stipulated time frame.
We will have two (2) scheduled meetings for all diocesan clergy and lay employees
— 8 and 10 December -- to introduce our guidelines and policies for this diocese. The
requirement will be to attend one of the two scheduled days. In the first quarter of 1 995,
we will begin the educational seminars to meet those requirements. The plan calls for
an educational day once every six months thereafter for new clergy and lay employees.
The work of background checks will begin after the first of the year.
There is still a lot of work ahead for this ad hoc committee. Should you have any
questions or input, please feel free to contact any of the committee members.
Respectfully,
The Veiy Rev. Frederick E. Mann
Chairperson

RESOLUTIONS
RESOLUTION #1
Amendment of Diocesan Canon 2
(Passed)
RESOLVED, that Diocesan Canon 2.b is hereby amended as follows:
Lay delegates and alternates shall be elected by the vestry of each eligible parish
and the vicar's committee of each canonically organized diocesan mission or at the
annual parish meeting. Written certification signed by the rector or clerk of such
vestry or committee shall be presented to the Secretary of the Convention. Each Parish
and Mission shall deliver to the Secretary of the Convention not later than May first,
a written list of delegates. If an elected delegate cannot attend, the rector or priest-in-
charge may fill such vacancy by certificate to the Secretary of the Convention.
Explanation
Several congregations have expressed to the Committee on Constitution and
Canons, the desire to have the option of electing delegates at the annual parish
meeting. The committee offers the amendment to accommodate those parishes wishing
The Ninety-Fifth Annual Convention of the Diocese of Northern Indiana amended
Rule of Order #3 requiring "all resolutions and a written report from the Nominating
Committee shall be completed and circulated to the Convention delegates at least sixty
(60) days prior to the Convention." In order for the Secretary of the Convention and the
diocesan staff to have adequate time to prepare this material the Committee on
Constitution and Canons recommends that delegate lists be submitted to the Secretary
of the Convention no later than May first.
Submitted by the Committee on Constitution and Canons
RESOLUTION #2
Regarding Domestic and Foreign Missionaries
(Withdrawn due to action of General Convention)
WHEREAS, the participation of local Episcopal congregations in the larger
missionary work of the Church, both domestic and foreign, has traditionally been
secured by giving through the diocese to the budget of the national Church's program
arm, the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society: and
WHEREAS, under the proposed revision of the national budget of the Episcopal
Church, the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society will no longer sponsor any
domestic or foreign missionaries; Therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Treasurer of the Diocese of Northern Indiana withhold $60
thousand from the assessment amount budgeted for national Church programs in
1995; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the money withheld be redirected as follows: $40,000 to the
South American Missionary Society for the complete support of one missionary; and
$20,000 to the Congregational Revitalization and Development Committee for the
purpose of helping to fund the position of Canon Missioner for this diocese.
Respectfully submitted,
The Rev. Canon John E. Schramm
for the South Bend Deanery
26 June 1994
EXPLANATION
Since 1835 the Episcopal Church has been organized for missionary work under
the corporate name of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society, of which every
64
Episcopalian is a member. Missionary bishops, priests, deacons, and lay persons have
been sent out to do good works, to plant congregations, to spread the Gospel. Under
the provisions of the revised budget both missionary- sending programs of the national
Church will be closed: Volunteers for Mission (which has about 41 short-term
missionaries) and the Appointed Missionary Program (which has 28 long-term
missionaries, down from 457 in 1968). Over $40 million still remain in the program
budget of the national Church. If mission work is not a high priority for the national
Church, then the local dioceses are obligated by the Great Commission (Matthew 24)
to pick up the slack and fund those Episcopal Missionary societies which still are
sending out missionaries. There are more requests from sources both foreign and
domestic than these societies can supply. There are more persons offering themselves
for missionary work than there are resources to support them. This resolution is about
Gospel priorities.

MINUTES OF THE DIOCESAN CONVENTION
The Convention began with a festal Mass at St. John the Evangelist Church, Elkhart,
Indiana, on Friday evening, November 10th, the Feast of St. Leo the Great, at 6 p.m. The
Right Reverend Francis Campbell Gray, Bishop of the Diocese of Northern Indiana was
both Celebrant and Preacher. The Mass homily was devoted to the idea of where we are
going as a diocese. The Bishop’s conclusion: we are journeying with Jesus, called to deny
ourselves in order to be his disciples and show his compassion to those we meet with and
with each other, whom he has given to us as companions along the way.
After the Mass the company adjourned to the Matterhorn Restaurant for the
convention banquet. After an excellent meal, Bishop Gray introduced the Rev'd Richard
Kallenberg, Rector of the host parish, St John’s, who introduced some of the persons
responsible for the planning of the convention and ecumenical guests from Elkhart.
The banquet speaker was The Rev'd Colenzo Hubbard from Emmanuel Episcopal
Ministries in Memphis, Tennessee. Fr. Hubbard and his wife, Deborah, direct a ministry
they founded through the Diocese of West Tennessee, in one of the poorest areas of one
of the poorest cities in the USA. Fr. Hubbard told the company that his chief aim was to
let the poor know that God is as much for them as he is for anyone else. There is no
contradiction, he said, between leading people to a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ and also ministering to their other needs, feeding them, clothing them, educating
them, helping them to find work. He said that God merely led them to begin providing
what the people he gave them needed, and then he supplied those needs. The company
was greatly moved by his address.
The business session of the convention began on Saturday morning, November 1 1th,
the Feast of St Martin of Tours, at the Quality Inn, Elkhart. (Actually the convention
began even before the Mass of Friday evening, on Thursday, November 9th, with the
arrival of people from around the diocese to work on a Habitat for Humanity house under
the direction of volunteers from St. John's Church.)
At 0917 the Bishop opened the meeting with prayer and then called upon The Rev'd
Harold Comer of the Credentials Committee. Fr. Comer said that there were 47 clergy
present of 73 eligible to vote, and 96 lay delegates of 100 eligible to vote. Upon receiving
this information, the Bishop declared the convention organized and ready for business.
He first called upon Gretchen Kallenberg to introduce the young people who were
serving as pages for convention.
Next Ann Caroboneau reported on the Happening program and introduced Andrew
Petroski who was chosen to be the rector of the next Happening in March.
Bishop Gray next asked convention as a courtesy to seat The Rev'd Charles Hensel,
interim rector at Gethsemane, Marion, who is not a member of the diocese, and asked
that one lay member from each of the new missions also be seated. None of the above
would, of course, be entitled to a vote.
Bishop Gray then asked all the clergy to remember that the deadline for signing up
for one of the alternative health programs for 1996 was coming up soon: Monday,
November 13th. Persons failing to sign up by that date risked having no health insurance
come January 1.
Now the Rules of Order as printed in the Journal were adopted by unanimous vote.
Ms. Sylvia Robles was now called upon to address convention in the matter of
refugees. She is the Director of the Exodus Refugee resettlement program and is
authorized to work with the Episcopal Church as well as other churches in northern
Indiana. She told convention how that the needs were particularly great just now, with
the many Bosnian people, especially those of mixed Muslim-Catholic and Muslim-
Orthodox marriages, who cannot go home to "ethnically-cleansed" areas. Families need
church sponsors.
Bishop Gray next nominated The Rev'd Canon John E. Schramm to be Secretary of
15
Convention and Mrs. Sharon Katona to be Treasurer. Convention approved. Bishop Gray
also appointed Mr. David Wright to be the Chancellor of the Diocese and Mr. Joseph
Weaver to serve as Parliamentarian.
(Other committee appointments were made also by Bishop Gray and are reflected
in the Diocesan Directory (uicL supra).]
The Bishop introduced clergy who were new to the diocese since last convention: The
Rev'd Martin Lavengood, from St. James’, Goshen; The Rev’d Linda Hughes, new vicar
of All Saints', Syracuse; and The Rev’d Den. Carl Gilland, Director of the Wawasee Center
and attached to St. Anne’s, Warsaw.
Prayers were offered at this time for those of the diocesan family who were ill,
especially. The Rev’d Bruce Mosier and The Rev’d Stephen Gerth. The Rev'd B. Linford
Eyrich, who departed this life on 22 May 1995, was also remembered in prayer, as were
the brother of Mary Ellen Smith, wife of the Rector of St. Michael's, South Bend, and the
father of The Rev’d Henry Randoph, Rector of St. David’s, Elkhart.
Now the Committee on Constitution and Canons was called to report in the person
of The Rev'd Canon David Seger. He moved the adoption of Resolution #1, regarding the
establishment of an Episcopal Relations Committee. The resolution needed to be
considered at this point, since an election was called for. The resolution was adopted. ( uicL
infra)
Canon Seger also moved the adoption of Resolution #2, regarding the establishment
of a trial court. This resolution would amend Canons 4 and 12. This resolution also
passed. ( uicL infra)
The Rev’d Shelby Scott, representing the Nominations Committee, was called upon
to present the nominations for diocesan offices. All of the ballots reported out from the
committee were accepted by convention with no additional nominations being made from
the floor. (In several of the elections, multiple ballots had to be taken, as indicated below.)

It was reported at the time of the first voting ( 1005) that of 73 clergy eligible to vote,
50 were present; and that of 100 lay delegates eligible to vote, 94 were present.
Mrs. Sharon Katona was called upon to answer questions regarding the Treasurer's
Report for 1994 and the first 9 months of 1995. There being none, the report was received
with gratitude.
The Bishop now called upon The Rev'd Megan Traquair to give a report on the Bishop’s
Ad Hoc Committee on Ethics in Ministry. She became the new chair on 1 August 1994
and reported that the guidelines required by the national Church and the national
insurance program for preventing sexual abuse and misconduct are generally in place
in the diocese and that further training sessions would be held about every six months.
Convention recessed briefly from 1027 until 1037.
After the recess. Den. Gloria Taylor spoke briefly about the AIDS ministry in the
diocese, of which she is the chair. She called attention of convention to the fact that a
part of the AIDS quilt was present for viewing and that there would be a healing service
at the Cathedral for AIDS on December 2nd, World AIDS day being December 1st.
Dean Mann was called upon next to report on the new structure of the School for
Faith and Ministry, now called the Institute for Christian Formation. He said that
catalogues for courses were now in the mail for the rest of this year. Two schools are part
of the institute: a deacon’s school and a school for continuing adult education.
Bishop Gray now formally addressed the convention with his annual report, (uid.
infra.)
After his address, the attention of the convention was called to the announcement
that certain canonical changes were being proposed for a vote at the next General
Convention, as required by the national canons. (vkL infra, "reports")
Now The Rev'd Robert Fitzpatrick rose to speak to Resolution #3, regarding a
shortening of the advance notification time before convention required in our Rules of
Order. The Rule #3 would be amended to reduce this time from 60 to 45 days. Since the
resolution was a late one, convention voted first to consider it, then on a second vote,
passed the resolution.
Fr. Kallenberg was called upon to present the budget for 1996. He asked for
questions, but there were none, except concerning which mandates he had spoken of with
regard to diocesan funds being locked in by convention mandate. These are: 1) growth
towards fully 1 0% of the annual budget directed towards congregational development and
renewal (we are at 7% next year); and 2) the payment of health benefits to clergy (and
17
surviving spouse) who retired out of the diocese after at least 1 5 years of service (this will
take about 6% next year) . There being no further discussion, the budget was passed upon
vote.
Now convention heard more from The Rev'd Colenzo Hubbard from Emmanuel
Episcopal Center, Memphis. He spoke about how he came to the center and gave more
detailed information on its structure and programs, as well as the parish that was
developing from the people evangelized by the ministry, St. Joseph s Church. Brochures
were later made available which summarized much of the material here given.
After Fr. Hubbard spoke, election results were given and new ballots taken. Now 53
clergy were present and 96 lay persons.
Noonday prayers were led at 1 208 by Bishop Gray, and convention recessed for lunch
at 1214.
Resuming at 1316, convention heard a report by Mr. Wayne Peterson, member of
the theology and liturgy committee, organist at Trinity Church, Ft. Wayne, about a new
program in the Church for music in small congregations, called the Leadership Program
for Musicians Serving Small Congregations. Further information is available through the
Diocesan Offices and has been printed in the BEACON.
Further results of elections were made and another round of balloting were now
taken.
Jerry Fumes of the Episcopal community Services in Gary now reported to
convention. (For a written report, vicL infra). The most exciting news he reported was that
papers were about to be signed for the purchase of a building to use as a shelter for the
homeless.
Bishop Gray advised convention that there would be no courtesy resolutions, but
that the secretary would convey the greetings of convention to the following persons:
Bishop Browning, Bishop Sheridan, Bishop Otubelu, Mrs. Klein, The Parish of St. John
the Evangelist, The Rev'd and Mrs. Colenzo Hubbard, and the management and staff of
the Quality Inn, Elkhart.
While awaiting more election results, convention heard from Fr. and Mrs. Hubbard
and asked questions. The Bishop noted that he was preaching at St. John’s on Sunday,
November 12th.
It was announced that at a meeting of the Wabash Deanery just after lunch, the Rev’d
Frank King and Mrs. Kathleen Fluhrer were elected to Diocesan Council.
Convention recessed and convened several times between 1407 and 1450 while
ballots were taken and election results announced.
At one of the recesses, someone asked if it would be possible to take an offering right
then for Fr. Hubbard's program of sending good students on summer excursions. All
agreed, and over $830 was raised and given to Fr. Hubbard.
Bishop Gray introduced Brian and Tamisyn Grantz, our seminarians, home for
convention from Sewanee, and noted that the next convention would be held on November
8 and 9, 1996, at The Cathedral in South Bend, with Bishop Browning being the
convention speaker.
Finally the last of the election results were in, the complete lists of General
Convention Deputies read out to convention, and at 1452 the company was dismissed
with prayer by Bishop Gray and convention adjourned.
Respectfully submitted.
(The Rev'd Canon) John E. Schramm
Secretary to Convention
[Erratum: the Journal of the 96th Annual Convention incorrectly showed no
delegates to that convention from St. Mark's, Howe. Those who were present and voting
were: Mr. Norm Duesler, Mrs. Gloria Frye, and Mr. Bob Frye.)

THE BISHOP'S CONVENTION ADDRESS
1995 - Elkhart, Indiana
As I mentioned in my letter to you in the Beacon, I believe that Diocesan Convention
is, primarily, a time for fellowship, prayer and the renewing of the common ties in Christ
which bind us together. It is a gathering of the clan, and it is good to be with you again. Thank
you for the gifts of time and talent you bring to this meeting. Your presence here on this
Saturday morning is a gift of stewardship itself. It is a special privilege to welcome the Rev.
and Mrs. Colenzo Hubbard from Memphis, Tennessee, as they shared in their work. It has
been rewarding for Karen and me to spend a day in Elkhart framing in a house for Habitat.
I am most thankful for the hospitality of the members of St. John’s, Elkhart, and the Rev.
Richard Kallenberg, rector, and his staff.
I am also deeply indebted to my staff who offer so much to the life of this diocese. All
of you see me at least once each year in your congregations, but you do not get to see the
people who support and encourage this ministry which we all share. So, on your behalf, I
thank Canon David Seger, Canon John Schramm, Sharon Katona, Carole Gross, Ann
Carboneau, Liz Low, our Beacon editor Matt Carboneau and the conference center director,
Carol Gilland. I am also thankful for the ministry of my wife, Karen, whose ministiy touches
so many lives and serves this diocese without pay or appointment and who does so with
quiet grace.
My main emphasis in this address will be on congregation revitalization. Before I get
to that theme, five more brief points will be addressed.
Waw—ec Conference Center: Three years ago, the diocese contracted for a site
utilization plan for the Wawasee Episcopal Conference Center and All Saints' Church. The
Conference Center was renovated in 1991 and continues to be a place for the ministiy of
the diocese. However, the chapel building has not aged gracefully and has been found to
be in serious need of replacement or repair. Since repair is as expensive as replacement,
it has been determined that the chapel be replaced by a new one. I have commissioned a
committee to develop plans for a new building. This group is chaired by the Rev. Shelby Scott
and consists of persons from All Saints’ congregation, the conference center committee, and
the diocese. The committee is studying church architecture so that the chapel will be
designed to fit the needs of a growing congregation as well as the diocese. The building will
contain an office for the vicar and an undercroft to be used as a parish house. Future plans
for the Wawasee site include removing the existing cottage and doubling the sleeping and
parking spaces.
All of this requires funding. Council has given permission for me to again engage the
services of Holliman Associates to conduct a feasibility study to determine if there is enough
interest to pursue a new church building at Wawasee. We will not have a diocesan-wide
major fund drive like Forward in Faith. Rather, we will seek donations from people who
might be interested in a new church at Wawasee, or people who are committed to the center.
If any of you know of people we should contact, please let me know their names.
I also mention that the congregation of All Saints is involved in this process, and
members of that congregation will be canvassed. And, I am thankful for the special
relationship that has existed between All Saints’ and St. Anne's, Warsaw. Over the years,
members of St. Anne's have been generous with gifts of time, talent and treasure to
Wawasee.
Forward in Faith: The active pledging campaign for Forward in Faith was concluded
eighteen months ago as we went over our goal of $1,750,000.00. To date, $1, 191,632.00
of the pledged amount has been given and $558,377.00 remains. Of the $1.75 million,
$420,000.00 was given in planned gifts of life insurance policies which will some day
become part of our Diocesan Endowment. For now, this amount represents a promise to the
future. When this amount, along with expenses and restricted gifts are subtracted, there
remains the amount of $1,100,000.00 for present missions and ministiy use. Of that
amount, $558,377.00 remains to be given by our pledgers.
To date, the contributions have been deposited to the following accounts:
New Congregations . $90,000
Congregation Revitalization (Endowment) . 112,000
Outreach (Endowment) . 35,000
Education (Endowment) . 100,000
Endowment . 50,000
19
All in all. Forward in Faith is progressing well, and the monies are being used for
their intended purposes. Two words of caution need to be mentioned. First, the large
amount of planned gifts will not be available for years and should not be factored into
our immediate plans. Second, four of the five categories are endowment funds in which
income only can be used, and the income will not be large until all of the pledges are in.
Meanwhile, those endowment funds are under the management of the Foundation.
Beacons: Four years ago, I appointed a committee to study the ministry of deacons
and to report back to the convention of 1992. Since this did not happen, I am reforming
the committee with the Rev. Derek Harbin as chair. Other members will be Canon Nancy
Moody, Archdeacon Richard Miller, Deacon Leslie Richardson, the Rev. Mark Thompson,
Deacon Frank McKee and Dawn Heady.
Companionship Relations: The time is coming for us to expand our companion
relationship with another diocese. The relationship with the Diocese of Enugu in Nigeria
continues, but not much happens between our two dioceses. These relationships between
Nigerian and American Midwestern dioceses were supposed to last for ten years. Ours
has gone for about seventeen years. While it is appropriate to continue some kind of link
with Enugu, we need to have a relationship with another diocese which is closer,
geographically. I have been in dialogue with the Rt. Rev. Leopoldo Frade of the Diocese
of Honduras, who is eager to explore the possibility of a companion relationship. Many
of you remember seeing the film of members of St. John of the Cross, Bristol, building
a new church in Honduras. This year, I will appoint a new committee on companion
relationship. At the next convention, the committee will report their recommendations
to you.
National Church: I would be remiss if I did not mention the National Church’s
embezzlement scandal which took place this past year. As most of you know, the former
treasurer of the Episcopal Church, Ellen Cooke, admitted to embezzling over two million
dollars from special accounts. At this point, about 2/3rds of the monies will be recovered
through bonds and the sale of Cooke’s property, and both civil and criminal investigations
are under way. Much of the confidence in our National Church leadership has been
questioned, and some people have demanded that the Presiding Bishop resign. Bishop
Browning has refused to do so, and I am in agreement with him on this matter. While
Bishop Browning admittedly allowed Mrs. Cooke too much authority, neither he nor
anyone else thought she was being dishonest. For the Presiding Bishop to resign with over
two years to go on his term would be too de- stabilizing on the church. Besides, even Jesus
had a thief for a treasurer, and the church recovered.
For myself, I know that Bishop Browning has been a fine pastor to his fellow bishops.
He has been so for me. He was especially pastoral when Karen and I had all of the deaths
in our family three years ago. As with many public figures, Bishop Browning's
shortcomings are quite public while his considerable virtues remain private.
Speaking of the Presiding Bishop , Bishop Browning will be the speaker at next year's
convention in South Bend. Other than for my consecration, Bishop Browning has not
been in this diocese, and it will be a pleasure to welcome him back.
Congregational Revitalization and Renewal: The basic community through which
the individual leams of Christ and is nurtured to grow in Christ is the local congregation.
This is true in all denominations and communions, no matter how radical or reactionary,
how liberal or conservative they might be. We are fed and strengthened, baptized,
married, and buried from local communities of faith. It is the bishop’s responsibility to
guide and direct, encourage and oversee the affairs of local congregations and to offer
connectedness and Catholicity to the congregations committed to his charge. The bishop
is to call forth the resources of the flock of Christ so that local communities can be life-
giving places where the light of Christ is both seen and known.
As we learned from last year’s speaker, congregations have life cycles of their own.
They are bom, grow, mature, decline and die. Death and rebirth can happen without
closing churches. There are dead and dying congregations with people in attendance
every Sunday and there are brand new congregations emerging from the shells of
20
buildings 100 years old. In the state of flux which exists in congregations, some get better
while others decline. Perhaps some figures from our diocese might help you to approach
the subject of congregational life in this diocese.
Population of Northern Indiana . . stable
1989 1994
Diocesan Members 8,200 8,000
Number of Congregations 36 39
Average Attendance 2,586 3,111
Average Pledge per Week $11.47 $27.09
This tells me that the general population of Indiana and the Episcopal population
are stable to declining. While approximately the same number of people are attending
church 30% more often, and are giving more than twice as much money to the church,
thee seems to be deeper commitment which is, perhaps, aided by such programs as the
Catechuminal process, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Journey to Adulthood,
Education for Ministry, Cursillo, Happening, and other programs of renewal.
Some other general figures might be helpful. Eighteen of our thirty-nine congrega¬
tions - almost one-half, are not large enough to financially sustain the ministry of a full
time priest Seven of those congregations have moved from full time to part-time clergy
in the past eight years. Conversely, five other congregations have grown enough to call
additional staff such as assistant priests or youth workers. The movement from full to
part-time clergy is bad news only if one believes that the main reason for a congregation
to exist is to provide employment for clergy. Let me give two examples. St. Paul's, Gas City
no longer supports a full time priest, but has increased in attendance and has opened
a day care center, reaching out into the community. Trinity, Logansport, has moved from
a survival mode to a growth mode now that most of the budget does not go to salary. In
both churches, the congregations are well served by clergy and the people are finding new
ministries.
How do changes occur which allow and encourage congregational growth? Fre¬
quently, this happens due to issues related to clergy. Always, it happens due to issues
related to the ministry of oversight of the bishop. For example, a priest accepts another
call, retires or dies and the vestry is faced with the reality of a budget. At other times,
issues of conflict arise between a priest and congregation. The bishop is called to "fix the
problem" by removing the priest or by sending them the perfect priest (nice looking, 37
year old priest with an attractive spouse, two children, who will work for $18,000 per year
and take only two weeks vacation. This priest must be a gifted preacher, a great fund
raiser, and someone who can attract new people without losing the old ones!) Further
problems of the church have to do with money. The typical response is to reduce the
diocesan assessment, reduce the salary of the priest, purchase less educational material,
rent the parish hall or all of the above. Rarely is tithing mentioned. When none of the above
solutions works, and they usually don't, the blame is transferred from the priest or vestry
to the bishop or the canon. The bishop then accepts the blame and goes into a blue funk
for a day or the bishop projects the blame back on the congregations, thinking himself
that a new priest or a new vestry might solve the problem.
All of this behavior (congregation, bishop, priest) is looking at symptoms and not
causes. The questions which should be asked in all of the situations are: Where is Jesus
in the midst of all of this, or, as I said in last night's sermon, are we on the road with Christ?
How can Jesus' resurrected presence and the life of the Spirit be seen in the congregation
and in the ministry of the bishop? How can the congregation be an effective and faithful
expression of the body of Christ regardless of size or location of the congregation? How
can the bishop be involved as both pastor and overseer? Before I offer a plan for action,
I want to share some statements which might be helpful.
STATEMENTS:
♦Size is not a factor in the health of a congregation.
There are vital small congregations and struggling large congregations. Thus bigger
is not necessarily better nor is biggest best. Conversely, smallness is neither virtuous nor
condemnatory.
21
»lacfc of money is the symptom, not the cause of problem*.
It is easier to raise money for stained glass windows than for salaries. We seem to
have money to do the things we want to do. True with family or church. Where Christ
is known, there is enough money to do Christ's work.
*The church does not exist to provide Income for employee*.
Church exists to give Glory to God, to help people to grow in Christ, and, to proclaim
the Gospel. However, when the church does employ people, they must be fairly andjustly
compensated - whether they are janitors or priests.
* Ministry arise* from community.
The healthiest churches will have the baptized actively engaged in ministry. Few
things are more disconcerting than to see the priest light the candles, read all the lessons,
do the prayers of the people, and distribute communion all by himself. If this happens
in the liturgy, one can be assured it will happen in other aspects of parish life.
♦The presence of Christ is based on grace not works.
Renewal comes when we look to Christ and not to ourselves. As Paul said, "I planted,
Apollos watered, but Christ gives the increase" A congregation centered in Jesus,
reaching out to the poor, and feeding the flock will always move from survival to
stabilization, to growth, for it will be like a city set on a hill and people will come.
Conversely an inward-looking congregation will decline and die.
How can we as a diocese assist congregations in the task of revitalization and
redevelopment? The structure is here as are the resources. We simply need to ask God
to give us direction. We have a committee for congregation revitalization and renewal.
They have done a fine job in developing new ministry as seen in our three new
congregations and they have done some significant work in congregation revitalization.
We now need to continue giving attention to congregation revitalization. I will ask the
committee to do the following, noting that some of these things are already being done:
1. develop an organizational framework for congregation revitalization
which can be used as a resource by local congregations
2. define lines of communication and accountability
3. distribute resources in the form of matching grants for congregations
to be equipped for revitalization
4. train and deploy consultants to be used by local congregations
5. continue to conduct workshops, such as George Martin and Susie
Miller workshops, which will educate congregations
6. implement Diocesan Council policy regarding assessment reduction
7. encourage and strengthen congregations in their successes
8. provide ways to monitor this program
There are many resources at our disposal to carry out this initiative. The endowment
funds from Forward in Faith as well as the Educational Fund will provide some grant
monies. We have tremendously talented people in this diocese, some of whom are
experienced and trained consultants. The National Church offers many programs and
materials on congregation development. Our diocese is stable and on sound pastoral and
financial footing. We do not have much extra, but we have enough resources to do God's
work. Most important of all, I believe God is with us, calling us to be the church, the
community of grace set in the midst of a violent and dying age.
As I begin my tenth year as your bishop, I do so with a sense of anticipation. We stand
on the threshold of a new era in the life of the church. Ours will be the responsibility to
lead this church into a new millennium; a millennium filled with uncertainty for those
who place their trust in the world, the flesh and the devil; but a world of promise for those
who put their trust in Christ. For as the familiar hymn says:
My hope is based on nothing less than Jesus and his righteousness. On
Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand, all other
ground is sinking sand.
Let us lay that foundation which is Christ, and let us move with
confidence as we frame in the house of the soul, that it might truly be
the house of God.

THE DIOCESE OF NORTHERN INDIANA, INC.
Independent Auditor's Report
Warner, Armstrong & Jones 525 West Washington Street, Suite 100
South Bend, Indiana 46601
(219) 234-1100
To The Council
Diocese of Northern Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc.
South Bend, Indiana
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets (cash basis) of Diocese of
Northern Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc. as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and
the related (cash basis) statements of support and revenue, expenses and changes in iund
balances for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
As described in Note 1 , these financial statements were prepared on the cash basis
of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally
accepted accounting principles. The Diocese also did not record capital assets and the
related depreciation prior to January 1, 1994.
In our opinion, except for the effects of not recording capital assets and related
depreciation, the financial statements of Diocese of Northern Indiana of the Episcopal
Church, Inc. present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position as of December
31, 1994 and 1993, and its support, revenue, expenses, and changes in fund balances
for the years then ended on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.
The additional information included on pages 10-13 has been subjected to auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and in our opinion, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken
as a whole.

DIOCESE OF NORTHERN INDIANA OF THE
EPISCOPAL CHURCH, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1994
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Purpose and Presentation
To take, administer and dispose of in accordance with the laws and constitution and
canons of the Episcopal Church of United States of America, and more especially of the
constitution and canons of the Diocese of Northern Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc. ,
properties of all kinds, character and types, real, personal and mixed tangible and
intangible for the benefit of the ecclesiastial body known as the Diocese of Northern
Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc. The Diocese covers a geogaphical area in Northern
Indiana spreading East to the Ohio border. West to the Illinois border. North to the
Michigan border, and South to Marion, Indiana. The Diocese includes thirty-six parishes.
Basis of Accounting
It is the policy of the Diocese to prepare its financial statements on the basis of cash
receipts and disbursements. Under this method, revenue is not recognized until it is
received, and expenses incurred are not recognized until they are paid. This is a
comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles.
Property and Equipment, and Depreciation
Beginning January 1, 1994, it is the policy of the Diocese to record property and
equipment acquisitions as capital assets. Prior acquisitions of office equipment have been
recorded as an operating expense. Depreiation is provided over the estimated useful lives
of the capital assets on a straight-line basis for the past January 1, 1994 acquisitions
only. Depreciation expense is $5,0 14 for 1994. This is a departure from generally accepted
accounting principles.
Retirement Plan
The Diocese has a defined contribution retirement plan. Individual contracts with the
church pension fund are purchased for all qualifying employees. To qualify for the
retirement plan, an employee must be a full-time salaried employee of the Diocese. The
retirement plan expense for the years ended December 31, were $17,108 - 1994 and
$24,281 - 1993.
Income Tax Status
The Diocese is a tax-exempt organization under Section 50 1 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue
Code and under a similar state statute. Therefore, no provision has been made for income
taxes in the financial statements.
27
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the 1993 financial statements have been reclassified for comparative
purposes in the 1994 financial statements.
Fund Accounting
To ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of the resources
available to the Diocese, the accounts are maintained in accordance with the principles
of fund accounting. This is the procedure by which resources for various purposes are
classified for accounting and reporting purposes into funds established according to their
nature and purpose. Accordingly, all financial transactions have been recorded and
grouped by fund. Fund balances and Diocese activities are reported in the following
groups:
Expendable Funds - are available for use at the discretion of the Council to support
general and administrative operations. They include Operating funds and restricted
Funds.
Restricted Expendable Funds - are restricted by the council for particular activities and/
or programs. The following are Restricted Expendable Funds:
Episcopate
An endowment fund for operations was established as required by the National
Church. The interest is used for operations.
Reserve
An endowment fund established as an emergency reserve for salaries of the
bishop and staff in case of any interruption of income from the congregations. The Council
must approve any reduction in principal. The interest is available for general operations.
An amount is budgeted each year to increase the reserve.
Venture in Mission
These funds are from a prior fund drive. The interest is available for operations.
Sabbatical
The Council has established a fund to provide for the Bishop and Canon’s

Revitalisation and Development - R and p
Canon states that a percentage of the annual budget (5% - 1994 and 4% - 1993)
should be utilized for new church plants and revitalization of current churches. Funds
not spent in the current year are invested for future needs of the Revitalization and
Development Committee.

Unexpendable Funds - are restricted as to use by the donor or a gift instrument and are
not available for operating purposes. These include the following:

restricted the interest for sustaining a choir. By court order, interest now is available to
the Diocese for operations.
Krause Fund
The income may be used by the Bishop "for capable young men going into
ministry or in the ministry." The Bishop uses the income for education expenses such
as books and conferences.
Christ Church Gary seminarian's Fund
The donor was the church in Gary, Indiana. The principal came from the funds
on hand when it closed. The interest is to be divided equally to seminarians from the Gary
area each year. If no seminarians from the Gary area exist, then it is to be given to other
seminarians in the Diocese of Northern Indiana. Funds are disbursed as requests are

PROGRAM COMMITTEE REPORTS
REPORT OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE
The Standing Committee of the Diocese of Northern Indiana is body of six persons
(three clerics and three lay persons) elected by the Convention of the Diocese. Mandated
by the Constitution of the Episcopal Church, the Standing Committee serves as a Council
of Advice to the Bishop, and, in his or her absence, as the ecclesial authority of the diocese.
The Standing Committee also interviews and approves candidates for ordination and
grants consent to the election and consecration of bishops for the several other dioceses
in the Church.
The members of the Standing Committee are Mr. David Nash, Dr. Jack Mapes, the
Rev. Stephen Gerth, the Rev. Michael Basden and the Rev. Richard Kallenberg. Diocesan
Convention also elected Ms. Elizabeth Lloyd Bane serve on the Standing Committee, but
her relocation to Lafayette in the Diocese of Indianapolis required that she submit her
resignation early in 1995. Upon receipt of her letter of resignation, the Committee chose
not to make an interim appointment to replace her, the Canons of the Diocese requiring
her unexpired term to be filled by election by Convention. At its first meeting held
November 5, 1 994, Fr. Kallenberg was elected President and Ms. Bane was elected Clerk.
Approval for Ordinations
Ms. Linda Hughes was approved for ordination to the transitional diaconate. Ms. Ann
Dorgan and Mr. Carl Samra were approved for ordination to the Diaconate. The Rev.
Daniel C. Hamby and the Rev. Linda Hughes were approved for ordination the Sacred
Priesthood.

By the Diocese of Northern Indiana to make a mortgage of $70,000.00 for the
property on South Miami in South Bend where Christ Church will be located.
By the Rector, Wardens and Vestry of Trinity Church in Fort Wayne to sell property
located on Thomas Road in Fort Wayne.

REPORT OF THE CONGREGATION
REVITALIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
1995 was a productive year for the CR&D committee. The work of the committee
focused on the continued support and development of the three new congregations in the
Diocese of Northern Indiana. The budget expenditures reflect that reality. It is worthy of
remembrance that our available diocesan resources limit the number of accomplish¬
ments we can fulfill in the midst of numerous opportunities. The new church start in
South Bend (Christ Church) received 74% of the budget at $55,082.24 for program and
clergy compensation. An additional 14% at $ 10,53 1 .04 was utilized for the property loan
on Christ Church. The new church start in Wabash (Church of the Resurrection) received
5% of the budget at a total of $3,983.95 for program. Other development expenditures
(including assistance in the purchase of electronic keyboard system for use in worship
at St. Maiy's Episcopal Fellowship in Monticello) totaled 4% or $2,844.50. The CR&D
committee also sponsored a weekend conference on New Member Ministry with Susy
Miller. The conference, meant for congregation revitalization, included a Friday evening
session for clergy and a Saturday session for parish teams. Participants represented 2 1
congregations and diocesan staff. This conference and other consultations represented
3% of the budget at $2,098.09. The CR&D has been involved in four congregation
consultations in 1995.
At this point and for the future we are focusing on the ministry needs and goals of
the Calumet region. It is the intention of the CR&D to help the new church starts become
self-sustaining so as to use the budgeted monies for further new church starts and
existing congregational redevelopments. We are also working on computer networking
for the Diocese to better enable and equip communication within the Diocesan structure.

During 1995, the Commission recommended Gordon Samra and Anne Dorgan for
ordination to the permanent Diaconate. We invited Dr. Tim Sedgwick, professor of Ethics
at Seabury Western, to conduct a joint retreat for us, the Standing Committee, and the
Bishop on developing criteria for the selection of persons for ordination. It was a very
productive gathering and we will be using much of our time in 1996 to refine our
procedures to reflect the learning that came out of that retreat. In late September, we held
a Ministry Discernment Conference for those who feel they have a call to ordained
ministry and for others who wished to focus on lay ministry. Seventeen people from
around the Diocese attended. We extend our thanks in particular to the Rev. Peg Harker,
whose tireless efforts contributed to the success of both of our conferences.
With a significant turnover in membership, 1995 has been a year of reorganization
for the Commission. We are grateful to Bob Chiles, Jill Basden, Quentin Smith and David
Nash, who completed their terms and have left the Commission. In 1996, the Commission
on Ministry will continue to explore the ways in which we can promote ministry in our
Diocese.

REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN FOUNDATION
Included with this report is a Profit and Loss Statement for the period of time July
1, 1994 through and including June 30, 1995, as well as a Loan/Grant Application.
Highlights for the Foundation are as follows:
A. Grants
There were three grants made by the Foundation since the last Diocesan Convention.
A $1,200.00 grant was made to St. Paul’s, Munster for computer upgrade of the family
resource center; a $3,000.00 grant was made to St. John's of Elkhart to assist them with
54
their commitment to the Habitat for Humanity home; and a $3,000.00 grant was made
to the Episcopal Community Services.
B. Investment Policy
The Directors established an investment policy for the Foundation. Since substan¬
tial sums are being received because of the Diocesan campaign, a policy has been
established whereby 20% of the interest earned on the monies received shall be reinvested
and added to the corpus of the trust. Thus, only 80% of interest is available to the Diocese
for grants. Loans, since they are repaid, can invade the corpus of the trust.

THE TASK FORCE ON THE CATECHUMENAL PROCESS
The Task Force on the Catechumenal Process exists in this Diocese to expose
parishes to an innovative yet ancient form of initiating Christians into the faith. This nine
month process welcomes newcomers into the church and prepares them for baptism,
confirmation, reception and baptism of their children and offers an opportunity for others
to deepen their faith in the context of learning how to more fully live as a Christian in
the world around us. If we are to be a diocese focused on church growth and evangelism,
then we must be prepared with an intentional plan of formation. The Task Force advocates
for the process, sponsors training events, offers resources, mentors individual parish
teams, and participants in on-going promotion of the process as new priests and missions
come into our diocese.
During this last year, we met occasionally as a group but continued to assist the eight
parish teams currently practicing the process. The chair attended the North American
Association of the Catechumenate Convention and represented the Diocese of Northern
Indiana. This is an especially productive representation as it shares with the greater
church that the process can work in smaller parishes in smaller dioceses. This convention
also exposes this diocese to other forms of church growth, worship styles, and Christian
initiation issues. For 1996, we will again sponsor a Diocesan- wide training event to train
parish teams. We will also again sponsor the Bishop's Lenten Retreat with the candidates,
sponsors and teams.
We are grateful for the financial support offered by this Diocese and appreciative of
the recognition of the priority given to Christian Initiation and Formation.

CONSTITUTION AND CANONS
The following are members of the Constitution and Canons Committee:
1. Joseph Weaver - Gethsemane, Marion
2. David M. Wright - Trinity, Fort Wayne
3. Reverend Stephen S. Gerth - Trinity, Fort Wayne
4. Jay Rigdon - St. Anne's, Warsaw
5. Reverend David L. Seger - Canon to the Ordinary
Our committee spent no money this year, however we did meet to prepare changes
to our canons. To comply with the National Canons, we had to prepare a canon that
establishes an Episcopate Relations Committee. The National Canons also required that
we create a separate Ecclesiastical Trial Court separate from the Standing Committee.
Our committee has completed that task and awaits the convention's review.
THEOLOGY AND LITURGY COMMITTEE REPORT
The members of the Theology and Liturgy Committee, appointed by the Bishop, serve
57
tiie Ordinary by providing council, education and reflection. The committee presently
includes Father Michael Basden, Father Stephen Gerth, Mrs. Clifford King Harbin,
Father Leonel Mitchell, Mr. Wayne Peterson, Father John Schramm and Father Mark
Thompson.
At the request of the Bishop, the committee is currently preparing revised liturgical
customaries for Christian Marriage, Ordination and Holy Eucharist. While a good part
of 1995 has been given toward this endeavor, the interest in a continuing dialogue on
Christian Initiation has dominated the committees work. The continuing development
of the catechumenate in many of our parishes and the renewal of baptismal theology is
seen by the committee as an opportunity for further study and development. In February
of next year, the committee will spend a day of study and reflection with Bishop Gray.
This study day is seen as an opportunity to reflect on the meaning of Christian Initiation
and its practice in our diocese.
Through the work of Wayne Peterson, the Theology and Liturgy Committee is
sponsoring an important offering that has the potential of benefiting a substantial
number of our parishes. The Leadership Program for Musicians Serving Small Congrega¬
tions will provide an outstanding opportunity for our parishes to receive training and
support from a host of outstanding church musicians. The last issue of The Beacon
included an introductory article regarding this significant development.
The committee’s agenda for 1996 will continue to include work in the areas of
Christian Initiation, The Leadership Program for Musicians Serving Small Congregations
and other tasks defined by the bishop.

THE CATHEDRAL GREATER CHAPTER ANNUAL REPORT
Greater Chapter Members:
Mrs. Betty Jo Boyer - St. Paul’s, Mishawaka (1995)
The Rev. Robert Chiles -- St. John’s, Elkhart (1995)
Mr. Mel Ring - Christ the King, Huntington (1996)
The Rev. Stephen Gerth - Trinity, Michigan City (1996)
The Greater Chapter of the Cathedral Church of St. James is composed of two lay
persons and two presbyters elected in accordance with Canon 1 1 of the Constitution and
Canons of the Diocese of Northern Indiana. Greater Chapter members attend monthly
meetings of the Cathedral Chapter with full voice and vote on all matters pertaining to
the work of the Chapter.
In January, the Greater Chapter met with the Dean and Wardens to reflect on their
role as liaisons between the ministry of the Cathedral and the mission of the diocese. The
Greater Chapter perceives its purpose as: a) advocacy from the diocese to the Cathedral
and, b) advocating the work and ministry of the Cathedral to the larger diocesan family.
The Greater Chapter helps the larger Chapter in balancing the definition of parish
and cathedral as we week to carry out that mission in the diocese. The Cathedral needs
to be a communication clearing house" and focus of celebration for important moments
in diocesan family life. Cathedral programs can be a resource to the diocese with Greater
Chapter members acting as liaisons.
Greater Chapter members participate actively in the work of the Cathedral Chapter.
During 1995, they have been pursuing the possibility of the Cathedral being a diocesan
down-link center for the emerging Episcopal Cathedral Television Network (ECTN). Fr.
Chiles has been especially involved in this effort. ECTN would bring conferences,
programs and events from the Episcopal Church and other sources into the diocese for
larger participation -- at a substantial savings as compared to travel and attendance to
58
attend the events themselves. As one example, the 1997 General Convention will be fully
televised and transmitted by ECTN. Trinity Institute is now being televised via ECTN. By
1 997 fully 35 annual events will be available for local participation via television. We hope
to be part of that network for Northern Indiana.
The Greater Chapter needs laypersons and presbyters who can bring creative
insight, leadership skills and vision to the Cathedral Chapter. If you are interested in
serving a two year term, please contact the Dean for nomination.
Respectfully submitted.

YALT is a team comprised primarily of youth which meets 3-4 times annually to plan
and review youth programs sponsored by the diocese. Events this year included: a trip
to Cedar Point, New Beginnings (2) , Happening, Senior High Retreat, and Summer Camp.
Because of low registration, The Gary Youth Project did not take place this summer,
a committee of youth and adults will be meeting to determine the direction service projects
should take within the diocese. A Provincial Youth Event will be held in this diocese in
October, 1995 and the Episcopal Youth Event (EYE) will take place at Indiana State
University in July of 1996.
SCHOOL FOR FAITH AND MINISTRY ANNUAL REPORT
Over eight years ago, an EFM group, led by Deacon Sarah Tracy emerged into a
diocesan training school for laypersons. It came to be known as the School for Faith and
Ministry. Bishop Gray’s vision was for a school that would further equip laypersons for
ministry and prepare those who had been called to the order of Permanent Deacons. The
Bishop’s vision and Sarah’s energy and excitement led to a fully functioning school that
has continued to grow and evolve.
Upon Sarah’s retirement in early June, the School for Faith and Ministry had
touched the life of our diocese in profound and permanent ways. The necessity for
continuing the ministry and mission of the school is grounded in this relationship
between the school and the diocesan family. Our diocese is becoming known for its
education.
The Very Rev. Frederick Mann was called to be the new director of the school in
February of this year by the Bishop and a search committee from parishes in the diocese.
Fr. Mann’s background includes the continuing development of a similar school in
Central Florida as its Dean of Academic Programs and, later. Chairman of the Board. As
with any organism, the school must continue to grow with the expanding needs and vision
of our diocese. Therefore, a redevelopment is underway to address a number of needs.
First, the name of the school is changing to The Institute for Christian Formation
(ICF) as of 1 November. The name change represents the shift in structure that the (now)
Institute will take. The Institute will have two schools: The School for Continuing Education
and The School for Diaconal Studies.
The core curriculum of the School for Continuing Education will include a track for
biblical studies and a track for ecclesial studies (church history, theology, liturgies,
ethics, etc.). The new element of the core program will be that courses will be offered ori
a "day at a time" basis. This simply means that an entire course can be taken on a given
day with a syllabus that provides pre-class reading and an assignment that will provide
credit for a course, should be student desire to do so. All courses on tracks one and two
of the core curriculum will be offered each academic year. It will be possible for anyone
to take a course by registering two weeks in advance. If one wants to be a full-time student
and take all courses in both tracks, this can be accomplished in two academic years.
The School for Diaconal Studies will be designed for those in the process toward
ordination to the Permanent Diaconate. Students entering this school will have had to
take all courses in the School for Continuing Education before being considered. The core
curriculum for the Diaconal school will be a year of professional study in the disciplines
of Diaconal ministry . It would be possible to be ordained a deacon at the end of that year,
but a second year of practicum ministries will be required to complete the full schedule
for Diaconal formation.
As the revised ICF structure is implemented, the plan is to "modularize’’ the Institute
and have the entire course structure (with exception of the School for Diaconal Training)
offered in four locations in the diocese. It is hoped that this will make the school more
available to parishioners anywhere in our diocese.
Dean Mann will have ICF office hours on Thursdays. Mrs. Cindy VanPaiys is the ICF
60
secretary. The ICF office can be reached through the diocesan office phone number. The
Institute will be in session on the first and third Saturdays of each month — beginning
on 4 November. The academic year will normally run October through May.
A full prospectus and ICF course information can be obtained at a table in the exhibit
area, by calling the ICF office or from your parish clergy.

Ms. Darlene Wedge - St. John the Evangelist, Elkhart
Two slots remain for St. Alban's Fort Wayne and St. James', Goshen. These will
be filled by January, 1996.
There have been three major action items this year. First: the bishop appointed
a committee to work with the master plan to develop an action plan for repair/
reconditioning the chapel. Second: Sharon Chase resigned as Director because of the
increased activity of her work in Goshen. We wish her well. Third: we welcome Deacon
Carl Gilland as the new director of the Wawasee Retreat Center. Carl brings much
experience in operating this type of facility has uncovered several areas that require
attention if this facility is to be maintained in an acceptable state of repair. They are: 1)
paint in the interior of the facility, 2) roof (over the kitchen area, a limb had penetrated
the roof and required immediate repair) 3) the embankment requires continued
maintenance 4) the deck(s) require continued washing/water proofing 5) furniture
requires cleaning (some will need to be replaced within two years) 6) carpets throughout
the Center require annual cleaning.
While the director is currently hired half time, it is recommended that future funding
be such that the position be three quarter to full time. This would permit ample time for
the director to, in fact, do some of the maintenance /repair work that is urgently needed.
Current expenses include part time wages for maintenance which is primarily grounds
keeping and housekeeping, ie. maid service. It should be noted here, that these part time
wages do not include major repair services.
In 1995, the Center had a total of 65 bookings, with a gross income of $28,800.00.
Presently, 1996 is booked at approximately 29% of 1995, with bookings for the balance
of 1996 and 1997 coming in on a regular basis. With current income (including the
current diocesan grant of $5,000.00 of approximately 34,000.00) the Center falls short
of providing sufficient monies for major repairs should they be required. Serious
consideration should be made regarding a "set aside" of three to five thousand dollars each
year (managed trust, etc.) in anticipation that it will be needed to replace furniture, paint,
replace well pumps/septic systems, clean carpets, etc.

ST. MARGARETS HOUSE
St. Margaret s House started its December 1994 to November 1995 fiscal year with
traditional holiday celebrations. Over 50 women and children enjoyed a Thanksgiving
meal at the center. A few weeks later, on the Notre Dame campus. 25 children played
games, received gifts, and had a visit with Santa Claus. At the same time, a party was
held for 45 children at the center including games, stockings, and a visit from St. Nick
Just prior to Christmas, a special luncheon was held for the women and invited guests
in Cathedral Hall, where they were entertained by a quartet from Sweet Adelines and
received the gifts donated by various churches.
New programs for the guests included a day retreat at Fatima Retreat House; also
crafts day for children during a school break with about 40 Notre Dame students
providing support and enthusiasm. Mary Fran Brandenberger and Janet Pancheri both
with Master’s degrees in counseling, led a Life Development Skills discussion group for
the women. Guests created a large felt mural for the center under the guidance of Julie
Trzybinski working through a grant from Very Special Arts Indiana.
Along with the daily volunteers who keep the center running, prepare the meals, and,
most importantly, give a listening ear to the guests, a summer service project intern from
Notre Dame was part of the stafT for eight weeks. Yuli McCutchen devoted most the her
time to children s programming, with a theme for each week and a planned activity for
each day, including two field trips.
A Master of Divinity student from Notre Dame is working as an intern for the school
year. Other special volunteer help includes Kate Hermann who conducts a play school
for children ages 3-5 on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
Staff development opportunities for volunteers and executive director Kathryn
Schneider included CPR/First Aid training and a staff retreat at Fatima Retreat House.
A Staff Enrichment Day is planned for October with M.J. Murray, counseling social
worker, as facilitator.
Improvements in the physical plant include a new upright freezer purchased from
Real Services through the auspices of Notre Dame; walls, doors and radiators were
repainted with help from members of St. Michael’s and All Angels (South Bend) and St.
Anne’s, (Warsaw); and new carpeting and tile will be installed in October.
A major fund-raiser has been the sale of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream at Notre Dame's
men’s basketball home games, and this will continue during the 1995-96 season.
St. Margaret’s House celebrated its fifth anniversary in June 1995. It was also an
occasion to honor the founder of the center, retiring Archdeacon Sarah Tracy. With the
aid of Bill Davis, St. Michael’s (SB), the dinner-dance held at the Elks Lodge was a great
success with over 80 guests in attendance and almost $1,000 raised.
Sarah Tracy’s vision has not only marked its fifth year of offering services and
programs to women in need, but it has grown beyond her (and the founding board
members) expectations. During July, the busiest month of the year, approximately 712
meals were served during that time, an average of 35 a day. During the school year, the
lunch count has a steady average of 28-30 people a day.
Not only meals, laundiy facilities, food, toiletries, and good used clothing are
available at St. Margaret’s House, but other more intangible services are offered: caring,
friendship, encouragement, and people with whom the guests can share their fears,
hopes, joys, and accomplishments.
St. Margaret’s House flourishes under the leadership of Kathryn Schneider, whose
faith in God is reflected in her work and her caring; through the careful guidance of the
board of director; and through the work and time given by the volunteers . . . they keep
the doors open and the "welcome sign" out for the women in need.

1995 ANNUAL REPORT
PRESIDING BISHOFS FUND FOR WORLD RELIEF
The board of directors of the Presiding Bishop's fund for World Relief awarded
$544,262.00 in grants when it met in New York in June. Most grants were kept in the
$2,000 - 4,000 range to make the most of funds available. These small grants will be
critical to support existing projects and leverage additional money. The high number of
natural and human-caused disasters in recent years has focused most giving on
designated needs. This leaves few undesignated funds available to support general
projects.
In June of this year the board awarded grants to projects in 36 dioceses that give
aid to victims of violence and support for suicide prevention, substance abuse treatment,
refugee and migrant ministry, to women and children, aid to the homeless and hungry
and ministry to persons with AIDS. Designated funds were used for rehabilitation work
following the floods in Georgia and the Midwest, Hurricane Andrew, the Oklahoma City
bombing and the California earthquake.
Overseas grants were awarded to partner church projects in Africa, the Solomon
Islands, Pakistan, Indiana, Central America, Europe, the Middle East and South
America. Among these grants were contributions to the Japan earthquake rehabilitation
efforts and to assist the people of Bosnia, Croatia and Russia. In addition there is $85,568
available to continue assisting the people of Rwanda both in Rwanda itself and in the
neighboring countries where many refugees have fled.
For the purpose of information, since 1986 the Diocese of Northern Indiana has
received $45,000 for five (5) grants:
1989 - Episcopal Urban Ministry . $15,000
1990 - Emergency Flood Relief . 10,000
1991 - St. Margaret's House . 12,000
1992 - Urban Social & Economic Justice . 5,000
1994 - Growing Groceries . 3,000
Statistics for the Diocese of Northern Indiana for 1994 and 1995 through August are:
1994 1995
Presiding Bishop's Fund $ 1 1 ,09 1 .03 $6,408.82
Annual Appeal 4,670.65 3,622.17
California 300.00 -0-
Rwanda 695.00 150.00
9-21-95 Office of the Treasurer, Episcopal Church Center
To help restore the Fund's resources, a call has been issued for all Episcopalians to
become partners of the Fund by contributing $20 per year in undesignated gifts through
the Fund's Annual Appeal. It is recommended that local congregations include the Appeal
in their services the last Sunday in January, however the timing is at the discretion of
the congregation. If the Fund receives this partnership commitment from all Episcopa¬
lians each year, there would be over $20 million in undesignated funds that could be used

BISHOP8 AD HOC COMMITTEE
FOR ETHICAL GUIDELINES IN MINISTRY
ANNUAL REPORT
Committee Members: The Rev. Michael Haas, The Rev. Canon David Seger, The
Rev. Megan Traquair, Mr. David Wright (Chancellor), Dr. Sandra Brown and The Very
Rev. Frederick Mann (Chair to 1 August 1995).
The process of producing the document Ethical Guidelines for the Conduct of
Ministry: Policies and Procedures achieved first-stage completion with approval by
Church Pension Group (Church Insurance Company). The approval provides the diocese
with warranty coverage for all clergy, lay employees and volunteers that work with youth
regarding sexual misconduct The guidelines became effective for our diocese on 15
January of this year.
The guidelines document has had four revisions, since its initial publication on 6
December 1994. The revisions have been in concert with insurance underwriter and legal
counsel from the Church Pension Group. In addition, the committee is working on two
more chapters to be added to the document either later this year or early 1996. These
chapters deal with educational procedures for child abuse and sexual harassment and
advocacy procedures should charges of sexual misconduct be brought against an
individual working within the church structure.
During this calendar year, the Committee has sponsored a full workshop each on
child sexual abuse and sexual harassment in the workplace. These workshops meet the
mandates established by the Church Insurance Company and, thus, required in our
guidelines. Three additional workshops have been held as either make-ups or for new
employees through the end of September. The committee will sponsor a workshop in each
of the required areas once every six months for new clergy and lay employees/volunteers.
The committee also plans to enter into relationships with at least four pastoral care
specialists within the diocese (South Bend. Fort Wayne, Kokomo and Calumet area) to
meet the requirements regarding long-term pastoral involvement with individuals in
parish ministry.
Canon Seger is continuing to develop a system for background checks for clergy and
lay employees in keeping with insurance mandates. Details on this process will be added
to the guidelines document as they are finalized.
Due to other commitments. Dean Mann resigned as chairperson of the Ad Hoc
Committee on 1 August, and The Rev. Megan Traquair has been named chairperson of
the Committee.
Copies of the guidelines can be obtained from the Rector /Vicar of your parish.
Respectfully submitted.

THE CATECHESIS OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a work of Christian formation for children
that is used in different ways in nine congregations of the Diocese of Northern Indiana.
The work began here in the fall of 1988 at the Cathedral of Saint James, South Bend.
The Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd held their national training
courses at Saint Mary’s College, South Bend in the summers of 1990 and 1991.
64
The Catechesis is now in use, in whole or in part, in the following congregations of
the Diocese: The Cathedral of Saint James, Church of Saint John the Evangelist, Elkhart,
Church of the Holy Trinity, South Bend, Saint Alban s Church, Fort Wayne, Saint
Andrew's Church, Kokomo, Saint Anne’s Church, Warsaw, Saint Michael and All Angels,
South Bend, Trinity Church, Fort Wayne, and Trinity Church, Michigan City.
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is continuing to expand in our region. It is also
a genuinely ecumenical work. Members of our diocesan community are participating in
a three to six-year old training sponsored by the Roman Diocese of Fort Wayne - South
Bend. Roman Catholics participated in the first and second training courses held in
Michigan City.
In order to continue the training. Saint Andrew’s Church, Kokomo, and Trinity
Church, Michigan City, organized a course in our own diocese in the 1993-1994 and 1994-
1995 academic years to train catechists to work with three to six-year old children. In
the fall of 1994 our local leadership group requested that the Diocese provide $ 1 ,000.00
during the 1995 budget year to support the next phase of training. The request was
granted.
Four persons from our Diocese, three lay persons and one member of the clergy,
participated in the six to nine-year old training held in Glen Ellyn, Illinois in 1994-1995.
This training enabled the lay persons to become catechists and the member of the clergy
to have the background to organize a training course at this level in our own diocese.
Currently this course is being held at Trinity Church, Michigan City. I have requested
that the Diocese support this course in 1996 with a grant of $1,000.00
In 1995 the $1,000.00 diocesan grant was expended in the following way:
Tuition for Regional Training . $800.00
Support for Northern Indiana Training . 200.00
TOTAL . $1,000.00
In 1996 $ 1 ,000.00 has been requested to support our Northern Indiana course held
at Trinity Church, Michigan City. Thirty-two persons from parishes in Northern Indiana,
the Diocese of Chicago and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gary are participating in this
training.

CLERGY FAMILY PROJECT COMMITTEE
The Clergy Family Project Committee has been involved in responding to the needs
of the clergy and clergy families of our diocese by offering ongoing programs and support
in a variety of ways. Each year much care goes into planning the annual clergy spouse
retreat held on the first weekend of October at the Wawasee Episcopal Center, as well
as the spring conference for clergy spouses and clergy - both married and single. This
conference has been held for the past three years at a facility in Monticello. These events
are especially helpful ways to encourage and strengthen the ministries of the ordained
clergy and their families.
Some other things which have been done since the last report are:
1 . the creation and distribution of a clergy and clergy spouse directory designed
to help us know more about each other.
2. the distribution of prayer cycles listing all clergy spouses affiliated with the
diocese, so that we may pray for each other on a monthly basis.
3. pubicizing and encouraging participation in the Retirement Conference spon-
65
sored by the Church Pension Fund and shared with the Diocese of Indianapolis.
Our committee continues to look for ways to cany out our vision for the clergy and
dF2r SpoUSes ofthls dlocese- vision formally stated is: We

S’ technicaI assistance to diocesan commissions and the national church,
and distributing special publications.
The name of the national organization NECAD was changed at the national
conference in Virginia Beach this year. As diocesan chairman of the Commission on
mthe°rteSi^ u g ' Was *" attendance at «iat convention and participated
In the deliberations which led to the name change. After returning home. I wrote to the
bishop and received permission to change the name of the Commission to "Recovery
Ministries which more accurately reflects the diverse areas In which this commission
is involved. By tide, "Recovery Ministries' Indicates a wider range of Interest and activity
which more clearly reflects the actual experience of members of diocesan commissions
e new president of the national organization Is a deacon whose special area of ministry

of three of our parishes Including a meeting with a family member in one of those
situations to help lay the ground work for a possible intervention In the future. One of
those meetings Involved overnight travel. In addition, there is continuing weekly

The commission continues to be willing and ready to show films, give talks, lead
seminars and retreats and assist in any way possible at any time with problems. The need
for confidentiality is understood and honored. I am not anonymous because you need to
know who I am if I am to be available to help.
The 1995 budget was spend on the Virginia Beach trip to the national convention.
The cost exceeded the budget and my parish made up the difference. The convention will
be held in Tampa in 1996 and I would expect the cost to approximate the same as this
y^r’iAC^nrdini^y’ are requestlng ^ Crease in our budget for 1 996 over 1995 of $300
which will include $200 for a diocesan membership in Recovery Ministries.

EPISCOPAL COMMUNITY SERVICES
Activities: Our first annual coat drive was a success, collecting women’s coats from
the local Episcopal Churches and taking them to Indianapolis, to the Women’s Prison.
Over 100 coats were donated. Our first annual Angel Christmas Tree was placed in the
Hobart Wiseway Food store. Ninety Angels were given Christmas presents at Christmas.
Donations from the community to the Angels resulted in not one gift per child, but three
and sometimes four. The first annual Christmas party (breakfast with Santa) was held
on a Sunday afternoon, and E.C.S. was host to two hundred and ten children, either at
the party or donated gifts. All together three hundred children received gifts.
Through our five programs the following has been accomplished working with a
volunteer staff, working long and hard to accomplish the work that God has set before
us.
Furniture: 200 individuals have been given household furnishings, from individuals
to nine member families, abused persons to burned out families, families not only from
northern Indiana but into Illinois also.
Clothing: from shoes to socks to hats and coats and everything in between have been
distributed to our people. Donations from individuals, churches, and local department
stores have come in to us, even cases of disposable diapers have been given to us. Over
800 individuals have received clothing from E.C.S.
Medical program: 57 individuals have been helped through our medical connections
from supplying prescriptions at cost through a local pharmacy to connecting eligible
individuals to the 75 pharmaceutical companies that supply prescription drugs to the
indigent.
Referral services: 300 people have been referred to other social agencies. These
people were in need of things that E.C.S. did not have direct access to, but we have the
access to through our agencies:
Food program: food has been supplied to 4,800 individuals thus far this year.
Donations coming in to us so far have consisted of the following:
1 . 20,400 pounds of canned or dry food. This includes pasta, cereals, and canned
goods. This comes from individual donations, local grocery stores and other agencies.
2. 16,000 pounds of salads, potato salad, carrot raisin salad, macaroni salad, and
baked beans. This has been donated to us for the past 2 months from another shelter.
3. 3,027 pounds of potato chips from a local distributor were donated to us.
4. 280 gallons of orange juice drink from a local dairy has been donated.
5. 28,000 pounds of fresh produce has been distributed by us through a weekly
program at a local catholic church.
6. 4,800 pounds of bacon has been distributed. All this plus many individuals
donate a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, a package of lunch meat, etc., small items on a
daily basis for distribution.
7. 4,500 pounds of bakery products have been donated from a local bakery. Each
week pies, breads, sweet rolls, cakes and cookies are being picked up.
As of this date E.C.S. has fed 4,900 individuals, 3,600 being our people and 1,300
through other agencies.
With the help of God our goal for next year is to double these figures. Our other goal
is to obtain a building to house all of our programs.
I respectfully submit this report and figures to the Glory of Our Lord, Jesus Christ.

MINUTES OF THE DIOCESAN CONVENTION
The 98th Annual Meeting of the Convention of the Diocese of Northern Indiana began
with the Conventual Mass at the Cathedral of St. James, South Bend, on 8th November
1996. Mass was celebrated by The Rt. Rev’d Francis C. Gray, Bishop of the Diocese of
Northern Indiana and the Sermon was delivered by the special guest of the Convention,
The Most Rev'd Edmond L. Browning, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church. After
Mass the convention gathered for the convention Banquet at the Marriott Hotel.
Convention was especially favored with a concert by the University of Notre Dame Folk
Choir, under the direction of Steven C. Warner.
The business session of convention was called to order by Bishop Gray at 0908 on
the 9th of November with prayer.
The Bishop called on The Rev'd Skip Comer of the credentials committee to give a
report of the number of people present. While the final numbers were being totaled.
Bishop Gray introduced several clergy who were doing interim work in the diocese and
asked that they be seated with their delegations even though not resident in the diocese:
The Rev’d Alexander Seabrook, from Diocese of Chicago who is serving St. Pauls' LaPorte;
The Rev’d Charles Hensel, serving St. Timothy’s, Griffith; The Rev’d Mark Geisler, curate
at Trinity, Fort Wayne; and The Rev’d James Turrell, interim at the Cathedral.
Next Nan Lunde and officers of the Diocesan ECW were introduced.
Then Fr. Comer reported that 44 of 75 clergy eligible to vote were present and that
82 of 99 eligible lay delegates were present. The rules of order were adopted as printed
in the journal.
Bishop Gray next nominated The Rev'd Canon John E. Schramm to be the Secretary
of Convention and Mrs. Sharon Katona to be the Treasurer of the Diocese. Convention
concurred with both nominations.
The Bishop now called attention to the appointments already made by him and
printed in this journal, noting that others would be made after convention and duly
reported.
Clergy new to the Diocese were then introduced: Mark Geisler, curate at Trinity Ft.
Wayne, James Turrell, interim at the Cathedral a deacon soon to be ordained, and Anne
Dorgan, Gordan Samra, and Cindy VanParis, new diocesan deacons.
It was reported that The Rev’d Canon Bruce Mosier was very ill. Prayers were now
ofTered for him and for the repose of the soul of The Rev'd Paul Leatherbury who died
January last.
The Rev'd Jack Meyer was wished Happy Birthday, and it was called to the attention
of convention that The Rev’d John Blakslee had retired from St. Paul’s, Munster, and that
The Rev’d Shelby Scott was leaving St. John’s, Bristol for Oklahoma.
It was then noted that Sylvia Rolas, the coordinator of refugee resettlement for State
of Indiana was present at convention. St. Michael's, South Bend; Trinity, Logansport; and
St. Andrew’s, Kokomo, all are involved with refugees as the result of her presence last
year.
Now came the report of the Committee on New Parishes and Missions, offering
resolution # 1 for adoption. The Rev’d Dabney Smith spoke of the progress of Resurrection,
Wabash, and St. Mary’s, Monticello. He moved adoption of the resolution which granted
diocesan mission status to these fellowships. The resolution was unanimously adopted.
Now came Susan Blubaugh, Vicar of St. Mary’s and St. Peter’s, to speak about St. Mary’s.
She concluded by presenting to Bishop Gray a piece of local artwork to commemorate
this new work.
The Rev'd Robert Bizzaro was also called upon to speak briefly about the new mission
in Wabash. Never had there been an Episcopal Church there.
At this point the election process began, with the presentation of the following
ballots:
15
Ballot # 1 : Directors of the Diocese of Northern Indiana Foundation, Inc.
In the Clerical Order: one to be elected for a three-year term. Nominees are: The Rev'd
J.P. Carver and The Rev’d Martin Lavengood.

Clerical Order, the nominees are The Rev'd Philip Morgan and The Rev’d Frank Moss.

Ballot #4: Delegates to Provincial Synod:

for alternate 3 -year term. The nominees are The Rev’d Robert Fitzpatrick and Archdeacon

The Report of the Bishop's ad hoc committee on the Diaconate was then given by the
Rev'd Derek Harbin (copies were published and distributed separately.} Convention was
told that this report was to be officially given to the commission on Ministry and the
Standing Committee.
Mrs. Arlyne Jacobsen was called upon to give report regarding the work of the
Companion Relationship Committee. After narrating a little history of the formation of
the committee, she updated convention on the current status of the relationship. She also
said that the group from Indiana going to Honduras in January would like to take
something from each parish, altar bread being finally settled upon.
The Rev'd Robert Fitzpatrick, chairman of the Resolutions Committee, moved the
adoption of Resolution #2, concerning the establishment of a companion relationship
with the Diocese of Honduras. It was seconded and passed. Bishop Gray also gave some
history of his relationship with the Bishop Frade and his wife, Diana, and the needs of
Honduras.
Mrs. Sharon Katona was now called upon to present the treasurer's report for 1995.
As a result of the presentation of the report, a lengthy discussion ensued regarding the
clarity of the accounting for diocesan funds. It was hoped that a uniform accounting
might be done so that all funds could be reported clearly. It was also noted that the lines
16
of authorization for expenditure of funds did not seem clearly delineated. A recess was
declared at 1025. Convention reconvened at 1045.
Upon reconvening, it was declared that 48 clergy present and 91 of 101 possible lay
delegates. The increased total represented the admission of the two new missions and
their delegates.
In order to conclude the discussion which had been taking place regarding
accounting, the Rev’d Jack Meyer, moved the following resolution (which was duly
seconded):
Resolved, That the Diocesan Council, working with the Finance Committee and the
Director of the Northern Indiana Foundation, Inc., in consultation with the Structure
Committee, be empowered to study and make recommendations to the 1997 Diocesan
Convention concerning any structural and/or canonical changes needed to improve
accounting and reporting of expenditures of all diocesan funds; and be it further
Resolved, That the above named bodies (Diocesan Council, Finance Committee,
Diocese of Northern Indiana Foundation, Inc. and Structure Committee) be empowered
to make immediate changes in accountability of all diocesan funds, as appropriate.
Derek Harbin moved that "inconsultation with the Structure Committee" be added
to the original resolution. The amendment passed and the resolution also carried as
amended.
Now The Rev’d Dabney Smith, assisted by a member of The Committee for
Congregational Revitalization and Development, Julie Fitzsimmons, came to report on
the work of the CRD. (Note: this report is included infra.) A narrative history of the
establishment and closing of Christ Church, South Bend, was given. Also in the report
is a suggested form for use in a petition for reduction in the Diocesan Assessment. Note:
with the move of St. Michael’s Grace Church and the start of missions in Wabash and
Monticello, four of the eight mission area goals mentioned in 1991 have been met. After
the report, questions were asked having to do with requests for fuller accounting of plans
and disbursement of funds.
The Bishop's Address was given at 1 120. {vid infra]
The Rev'd Frank Moss asked for a personal privilege to give a response to Bishop's
Address.
Mrs. Aleta Watton now came to give a report on the diocesan youth program. She
began with the introduction of all the youth who are working here. Pages are: Andrea
Duddek, Melissa Pleasant, Katie Gray, Ashton Smith, Jeff Foldenauer, Andrew Walker,
Brad Mohnke, David Willoughby, and Sarah Powers; Youth Booth workers are: Carmen
Blubaugh, Camille Blubaugh, Robbie Schrum, and Nate Banyai.
Noon day prayers were said at 1 156: Adjournment for lunch took place at 1201.
Convention reconvened at 1336. Now 92 of 101 lay delegates eligible to vote were
present.
Bishop Gray noted that training is now available for stewardship leaders in parishes
through the diocesan stewardship committee.
Brian Grantz was then introduced as the senior seminarian and his ordination to
diaconate was announced for 21 December 96.
Derek Harbin was appointed as diocesan liturgist.
A presentation on behalf of St. Margaret’s House was now made by Ms. Kathy Snider ,
the director, (vid infra]
Mr. Rich Wolf from Episcopal Community Services now made a presentation. The
Board is being expanded and development enhanced. Jerry Fumes had to retire because
of ill health and now The Rev'd Bob Lynn was hired as executive director. Many kinds of
assistance offered, (for the full address, vid. infra.)
The Report of the Episcopate Relations Committee was now given by The Rev'd
Shelby Scott. Copies were presented to convention. Mrs. Deborah Ottsen presented to
Bishop Gray and Karen contributions from all the parishes in the dioceses for the
sabbatical the Gray’s will be taking in the spring 1997 - with wishes and prayers for
17
renewal and refreshment.
The Rev’d Michael Basden and Fr. Scott reported next regarding the building project
at All Saints', Syracuse. (For the report and prospectus vid. infra.)
The Rev'd Richard Kallenberg from the Finance Committee now came forward to
present the 1997 Diocesan Budget and moved its adoption. There was a question about
investment policy. The Foundation report spoke of a new policy to diversity investments
but did not include the new diocesan growth fund. So it is not clear what the diocesan
investment policy is. Fr. Fitzpatrick explained that the foundation uses the Diocesan
Investment Trust to invest its funds. Now that the Diocese has the equity fund as well
as the income fund, the Foundation will be using this as well. Everything that has come
in from the Capital Campaign for the Endowment portion is invested in the growth fund.
Another question was raised about how the diocesan endowment is invested and spent.
The old portion is in the income fund and is spent every year. Since there is inflation, that
reduces the value. Some concern was expressed that convention just spends this money.
No further budget questions were asked. Finally the vote was taken. All concurred and
the budget passed.
The Rev’d Frank Moss moved that convention recognize The Rev'd Shelby Scott and
his family with gratitude or their ministry among us as they move not to Oklahoma.
Convention gave him a standing ovation.
There being no further business. Convention adjourned with prayer and a blessing
by Bishop Gray at 1446.
Respectfully submitted.
(The Rev’d Canon) John E. Schramm
Secretary to Convention

THE BISHOP'S CONVENTION ADDRESS
1996
As I look back on ten years of service as the Bishop of this Diocese, I observe
a beautiful tapestry of love and devotion to God and to his Church. So many people have
given so much of themselves and some of those are now joined with us in the communion
of saints, praying with joy in the nearer presence of God. Names like Beverly Eddy, Father
Jack Hughes, Barb Wood, Father Jack Bliven and Father Lin Eyrick come tp mind. And
there are many more, known to all of us, who served God in their time and left a heritage
for us to build on.
If I have seen anything as Bishop, it is the willingness of you, God's people, to
do something beautiful for God. You have built new churches and repaired old ones. You
have broadened and deepened the ministry of Christ to be more inclusive and more
encompassing. When I observe you each week, and visit different churches, I am moved
by the variety of gifts and the singularity of purpose as you seek to serve God. Whether
it is Lee Lacey leading a Faith Alive weekend, Rich Wolf or Susan Blubaugh at E.C.S.,
Nancy Wiese leading a Journey in Faith Class, Philip Morgan preaching to cadets, Arlyne
Jacobsen organizing for mission in Honduras, Roberta Ring ministering to the dying,
Katy White at a Happening meeting, or Charlotte Strowhom promoting the Presiding
Bishop's Fund for World Relief - wherever these people are, and hundreds more like them,
Christ's hands and feet, his ears and eyes, are present.
What a joy it is to see you at work, and to observe the activity of God in the lives
of his saints. Perhaps only a bishop can see such diversity of action and unity of purpose.
You are feeding the poor and building churches, sheltering refugees and enjoying the
fellowship of golf games and parish parties. You are catechizing the unchurched and
raising our children in the faith. All of this you have done with the absence of rancor which
is so evident in other parts of the church.
Ten years ago, when I was consecrated a bishop, I stood in your presence and
made promises to God and to you. As an outline for this year's address, I will use some
of the questions from the ordination service. One of the questions I was asked is:
Are you persuaded that God has called you to the Office of Bishop?
I am so persuaded and am aware that the longer I am a bishop, the more in need
of grace I become. None of us can fulfill our calling as Christians without three things:
1) God's grace and strength
2) validation and encouragement by the community
3) a sense of vocation.
These three things apply whether one's vocation is to be a proofreader or a
president; a boat boy or a bishop; a soldier or a seamstress. Showing God's grace and
strength is the primary task of the gathered community, and you have done that. As your
bishop, I have attempted to preach and teach Christ first and foremost, not centering my
ministry in, though not ignoring, ecclesial issues which might distract us from learning
about Christ. I believe that my primary task has been to lead this diocese through troubled
times by pointing to Christ and fostering healthy congregations.
In this task, I have been greatly encouraged by your love and support. But even
more important than your support of me has been the mutual validation and encourage¬
ment for ministry in our churches. Programs far too numerous to mention, call forth
ministries of grace, whether they be youth programs, outreach ministries, study
programs or small groups. We are all in the process of discovering our calling.
Will you be faithful in p rauer and in the studu ofHolu Scriptures, that you mau
have the mind of Christ?
I have discovered that this is a hard promise to keep, due to the irregular hours,
19
the frequency of travel and the time constraints. Dally prayer is always possible, but
sustained study is harder, and there is always the temptation to fall back on old material.
The answer for me has been to take the time for an annual retreat; a week long marriage
conference; a week of prayer and study at a conference center. Early next year, I will be
taking a sabbatical - an extended time for prayer, reading and exercise. I am extremely
grateful that you have provided me time for this. The doctor has told me that I am healthy,
but too fat! My heart is fine, but I am tired. So, the sabbatical will be used for prayer,
writing poetry, exercise, and time with Karen.
But all of us are called to be faithful in prayer and the study of scripture and
I am encouraged by the growth in this diocese of prayer and study groups. E.F.M. classes
and seminars, and clergy leadership in these areas.
Will uou encourage and support all baptized people in their gifts and ministries?
For some time I have been thinking about new ways to broaden decision making
in the diocese and ways in which we can become better organized and equipped for
ministry.
If there has been one word which has been on the lips of diocesan leadership
this fall, that word is "structure". The way a body of people engage in discourse, form
groups, make decisions, cany out plans, all speaks of structure. Structure can
"encourage and support the baptized in their gifts and ministries" and the time has come
for us to reflect on decision making in our diocesan life.; Some of the following questions
and statements which I have heard lead me to this conclusion.
What is the function and purpose of the Diocesan Council?
How does council relate to convention?
What is the function and purpose of deaneries?
Are our deaneries too big, too small, or just too inactive?
Can we find better ways on opening and closing congregations?
What is the relationship between aided congregations and convention?
How many committees does the diocese need?
Who builds the budget?
There are many more questions and we all are interested in having our
questions answered. This year, the diocese will be engaging the services of a consultant
to assist us in finding Godly answers to our questions of structure. Hopefully, there will
be meetings held in several places so that many people can share their views as to how
we can continue to be a diocese where the baptized are supported in their gifts and
ministries.
I believe that this task of restructuring our organizational life will help us do
better that which we are already doing - and I look forward to participating in this process.
Will you guard the faith, unity and discipline of the church?
This is a promise asked only of bishops at their ordinations and it is not asked
of priests and deacons. The great Desmond Tutu once said that: "we Anglicans are an
untidy lot." We lack the central power of a papacy or curia. Unlike the English Church,
our bishops are publicly elected (Thanks be to God) . Unlike the American Roman Catholic
bishops, our meetings are held in public. Unlike the Methodist bishops, we do not have
the power to move clergy, annually. Ours has been a church polity of civility, restraint,
and common sense. Until recently! Our House of Bishops refuses to enact common codes
of conduct. Governance in the House of Bishops has frequently been reduced to the
signing of competitive documents by rival camps on the right and on the left. If one seeks
to enforce a norm, then a bishop or two rises to protest, offering a conscience statement
to be signed. I am not alone in my concern for the House of Bishops and for our seeming
lack of direction. There are many other bishops who join in my concern and we are
working and praying for God's direction in the future. We are seeking to build a solid
center in the House and resist radical action and reactionary responses by bishops. Keep
20
us in your prayers as we attempt to be faithful leaders.
General Convention is an unwieldy body upon whom has been visited the hopes
of many groups. In recent years, the "General Convention resolution" has been given a
value it never was intended to have. Resolutions are voted up or down with great fanfare
and then are disobeyed or ignored with impunity.
What is the answer to all of this discouraging news about the faith and unity
of the church? First, we should not become cynical but should try to reform the church
as best we can. Secondly, we can remember that the faith of the church does not reside
in conventions or, ultimately, in meetings of bishops. Rather, our faith is enshrined in
scripture, in the creeds and councils of the church, and in our Book of Common Prayer.
The important resolutions for the future are those which change the Prayer Book.
Thirdly, we must remember that the basic unit of the church is not the National
Church, but a diocese. I am called to guard the faith, unity and doctrine of this diocese.
If Northern Indiana is a healthy, orthodox, growing diocese, then we can give thanks to
God. This does not mean that we ignore or reject the church beyond. It does mean that
we are called to be certain that the faith once delivered to the saints is faithfully lived
here.
Speaking of the discipline of the church. I must speak of a horrible series of
events which have taken place in the Diocese of Long Island. It has been reported in a
pornographic magazine that a small group of Episcopal priests have been engaging the
most despicable and perverted ways. These persons imported men from other countries
for the purpose of sexual exploitation and have even desecrated church buildings. A full
investigation has been called for and one priest has already resigned his orders. This
lamentable behavior comes on the heels of the embezzlement scandal at the National
Church Office and the suicide of a bishop.
As we collect ourselves after one more blow to our beloved church, let us not
forget that most, almost all of our clergy and church workers are hard working, God¬
fearing, productive servants of God who carry out their ministries in faithful ways.
In the ninth century, B.C., the prophet Elijah lamented that the leadership of
his community was apostate. He viewed himself as the remaining voice and failed to notice
that others were faithful as well. "I am the only one left and now they want to kill me ,
Elijah told God at Mt. Horeb. Not so, said God, for there are 7,000 who have not bowed
before Baal. (I Kings 19:18)
From this passage, we leam two things. First that ours is not the worst time
in the world. Second, that there are always people who are quietly ready to take risks for
God, and to do so without the consolation of being on the Mount of Horeb, when the vision
appears.
Another question: Will you sustain uour fellow presbyters and take counsel
with them: unit you guide and strengthen the deacons and all others who minister
in the church?
I am happy to say that the clergy of the Diocese of Northern Indiana are, as a
group, among the finest in the church. We can be proud of our priests and deacons and
I would not trade them for any other diocese in the country. Our sixteen deacons exhibit
a servant ministry which is exemplary, and our priests are sensitive and thoughtful
pastors. There are exceptions in our pastoral care, and occasionally, all of us clergy fall
short of our calling. We are human and sin does reside in the clergy. But, for the most
part, I am very proud of our clergy.
At a recent clergy retreat, several clergy shared their faith journeys. This was
indicative of some extraordinary spiritual depth and some fine preaching.
And, I might add, that you the people of God have responded by raising the
average diocesan salary ranking from 99th out of 100 dioceses to 69th (51st when
adjusted for the cost of living factor) in the past decade.
21
Will no Li be merciful to all, show compassion to the poor and strangers and defend
those who have no helper ?
Much of what a bishop does in this respect has to be in an indirect way. As a
parish priest, I occasionally helped in soup kitchens, assisted homeless persons, was an
advocate for neglected and abused persons and worked for social change. As a bishop,
my role is more indirect and is that of being a supporter and advocate of such fine
programs as the Episcopal Community Services and Saint Margaret’s House; encourager
of support for Our Little Roses and the Diocese of Honduras. Through the discretionary
fund, which so many of you generously support, help is given to those who have no helper.
As your bishop, I am pleased that our youth will once again have a diocesan summer youth
project and I rejoice in three of our congregations sponsoring refugees and a half dozen
other churches having food pantries.
There is one question in the ordination services for deacons and priests which
curiously does not appear in the Consecration of a Bishop. "Will you pattern your life and
that of your family in accordance with the teachings of Christ?" Few people need the
stability, balance, and love of a family more than does the bishop. Not having a parish
family, he goes from place to place each week. He gives up direct spiritual influence over
his children when he ceases to be a parish priest, and never again will give communion
to the same people week after week. Few people know their bishop as they know their
parish priest, and the bishop himself misses the opportunities of the "cure of souls". Being
a bishop can be, and is, a joy and a challenge. Being a bishop gives one a chance to see
the larger church with a view few people have. But, being a bishop can also be lonely and
isolating - without a family. God has blessed me with ten years of being your bishop but
he has blessed me even more with thirty one years of marriage. For me the sacrament
of marriage is God's unique gift to me, and Karen is God's personal sacrament. God has
also blessed us with three of the most wonderful children a person could ask for.
I must also speak of my extended family, the diocesan staff. They are my small
group - these dedicated Christians - all members of this diocesan family - they are the
ones who strengthen and encourage, support and uphold me on a day to day basis.
Sharon Katona has been with us almost ten years and I hope we will find some
appropriate way to thank her in the coming year. David Seger and Carole Gross have
completed five years of service to this diocese, and in your name, I gave them a gift this
past summer. Liz Low, Aleta Watton, Brenda Rigdon, Canon John Schramm, Archdeacon
Rich Miller, Matt and Ann Carboneau and Teresa Betz all bring unique gifts to our diocese
and I thank them for their ministry.
Ten years ago, I made the promises mentioned in this address, along with
several other promises. I know more about those promises now than I did then. And, if
asked those questions again, I would still answer in the affirmative for the love of God
and for the service of this diocese. You are God’s gift to me and I ask you to join me in
continuing to build in this place something beautiful for God.

THE DIOCESE OF NORTHERN INDIANA, INC.
Independent Auditor's Report
Warner, Armstrong & Jones 525 West Washington Street, Suite 100
South Bend, Indiana 46601
(219) 234-1100
To The Council
Diocese of Northern Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc.
South Bend, Indiana
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position (cash basis) of
Diocese of Northern Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and
1994 and the related (cash basis) statements of activity for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overfill financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in Note 1, these financial statements were prepared on the cash
basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally
accepted accounting principles. The Diocese also did not record capital assets and the
related depreciation prior to Januaiy 1, 1994.
In our opinion, except for the effects of not recording capital assets and related
depreciation, the financial statements of Diocese of Northern Indiana of the Episcopal
Church, Inc. present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, and its support, revenue, expenses, and changes in net assets for
the years then ended on the basis of accounting described in Note 1 .
Tie additional information included on pages 10-13 has been subjected to
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

DIOCESE OF NORTHERN INDIANA OF THE
EPISCOPAL CHURCH, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1995
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Purpose and Presentation
To take, administer and dispose of in accordance with the laws and constitution and
canons of the Episcopal Church of United States of America, and more especially of the
constitution and canons of the Diocese of Northern Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc. ,
properties of all kinds, character and types, real, personal and mixed tangible and
intangible for the benefit of the ecclesiastial body known as the Diocese of Northern
Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc. The Diocese covers a geogaphical area in Northern
Indiana spreading East to the Ohio border. West to the Illinois border. North to the
Michigan border, and South to Marion, Indiana. The Diocese includes thirty-six parishes.
Financial Statement Presentation
The Diocese adopted provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 117, "Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations" as of January 1 , 1994 by
restating the 1994 financial statements. Under SFAS No. 1 17, the Diocese is required
to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to classes
of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted and permanently restricted
net assets. The Diocese has reclassified its financial statements to present classes as
required. This reclassification had no effect on the change in net assets for the year ended
December 31, 1994.
Contribution i
The Diocese also adopted SFAS No. 1 16, "Accounting for Contributions Received and
Contributions Made” effective January 1, 1994. In accordance with SFAS No. 1 16, the
diocese reports gifts of cash and other assets as restricted support if they are received
with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. When a donor restriction
expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is an
accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets
and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions.
Application of SFAS No. 1 16 resulted only in a change of classifications.
Basis of Accounting
It is the policy of the Diocese to prepare its financial statements on the basis of cash
receipts and disbursements. Under this method, revenue is not recognized until it is
received, and expenses incurred are not recognized until they are paid. This is a
comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles.
Property and Equipment, and Depreciation
Beginning January 1, 1994, it is the policy of the Diocese to record property and
equipment acquisitions as capital assets. Prior acquisitions of office equipment have been
27
recorded as an operating expense. Dep relation is provided over the estimated useful lives
of the capital assets on a straight-line basis for the past January 1, 1994 acquisitions
only. Depreciation expense is $3,308 for 1995 and $5,014 for 1994. This is a departure
from generally accepted accounting principles.
Retirement Plan
The Diocese has a defined contribution retirement plan. Individual contracts with the
church pension fund are purchased for all qualifying employees. To qualify for the
retirement plan, an employee must be a full-time salaried employee of the Diocese. The
retirement plan expense for the years ended December 31, were $23,996 - 1995 and
$17,108- 1994.
Income Tax Status
The Diocese is a tax-exempt organization under Section 50 1 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue
Code and under a similar state statute. Therefore, no provision has been made for income
taxes in the financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the 1994 financial statements have been reclassified for comparative
purposes in the 1995 financial statements.
^-counting for Net Assets
To ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of the resources
available to the Diocese, the accounts are classified according to their nature and
purpose, and accordingly, all financial transactions have been recorded and grouped by
class. The net assets and diocese activities are grouped and reported in major classes as
described below.
Unrestricted Net Assets - are available for use at the discretion of the Council
to support general and administrative operations. They include Operating Net Assets and
Endowment Net Assets.
Endowment Net Assets - are restricte dby the Council for particular activites
and/or programs. The following are Endowment Net Assets:
Episcopate
An endowment fund for operations was established as required by the National
Church. The interest is used for operations.
Reserve
An endowment fund established as an emergency reserve for salaries of the
bishop and staff in case of any interruption of income from the congregations. The Council
must approve any reduction in principal. The interest is available for general operations.
An amount is budgeted each year to increase the reserve.
Venture in Mission
These funds are from a prior fund drive. The interest is available for operations.
Sabbatical
The Council has established a fund to provide for the Bishop and Canon's
sabattical.
General Convention
The Council has established a fund from which to pay for the Bishop and seven
other people to attend the National Convention which is held every three years.
28
Lambeth
The Council has established a fund from which to pay the expenses of the Bishop
attending a Lambeth conference in England every ten years.
Historiographer
The Diocese has a historiographer fund from which to pay such expenses. The
Diocese currently does not have a historiographer.
Revitalization and Development - R and D
Canon states that a percentage of the annual budget (5% - 1995 and 5% - 1994)
should be utilized for new church plants and revitalization of current churches. Funds
not spent in the current year are invested for future needs of the Revitalization and
Development Committee.
Bishop's Association
This fund is utilized to help individuals and families of the Diocese. The Bishop
is authorized to disburse these funds.
Wawasee
This fund is for the Wawasee Center, a retreat facility.
Bishop's Residence
This fund is for repairs and maintenance of the Bishop's residence.
Temporarily and Permanently Restricted Net Assets - are restricted as to use
by the donor or a gift instrument and are not available for operating purposes. These
include the following:
Delphi Fund
This fund is from the Delphi church (no longer in existence). The orginal donor
restricted the interest for sustaining a choir. By court order, interest now is available to
the Diocese for operations.
Krause Fund
The income may be used by the Bishop "for capable young men going into

REPORT OF THE CONGREGATION
REVITALIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
The work of the CR&D committee during the last year was structured upon the Rt.
Rev. Francis C. Gray's address to Diocesan convention in 1995. He asked the committee
to concentrate on:
1 . the development of an organizational framework for congregation revitalization
which can be used as a resource by local congregations
2. the defining of lines of communication and accountability
3. the distribution of resources in the form of matching grants for congregations
52
to be equipped for revitalization
4. the continuation of educational workshops
5. the implementation of Diocesan Council policy regarding assessment reduc¬
tions
6. the training and deployment of consultants for use within the diocese
7. the encouragement and strengthening of congregations in their successes
8. the development of ways to monitor this program
The first task of the committee was to divide into two functioning subcommittees.
The Rev. Megan Traquair served as sub-chair over Congregation Revitalization and The
Rev. David Ottsen served as sub-chair over New Congregation Development. These two
groups met monthly and the entire committee met bimonthly. There was lots of creative
energy in the meetings in the on-going development of the bishop's charge. The actions
decided upon were:
1. To increase the diocesan library of resources regarding congregation development
and revitalization. This resource will be housed at St. Andrew's, Valparaiso and
available to all congregations. When this action is complete all congregations will be
notified as to content and methods to utilize this library.
2. Four parish consultations were conducted.
3. Diocesan membership in Education for Ministry was funded for $1,500.00 for the
next year. This will provide tuition reductions to all members of the diocese
participating in this program. Deacon Gordon Samra was approved as EFM Diocesan
Coordinator.
4. The development of a diocesan resource list of people was started. This list will
provide an in-house cadre of experienced resource people available for parish
consultation on a variety of topics.
5. A grant request in the amount of $1,500.00 was funded ($1,000.00 in 1996 and
$500.00 in 1997) for St. John's Elkhart for their continued work with consultant
Suzy Miller.
6. Sent a team of lay persons from the diocese to the National Church seminar "Start
Up/Start Over." This week long seminar provides tools for congregation revitaliza¬
tion and new development. This team was sent to help their own congregations as
well as develop a consultation network. The team held a Calumet region vestry
retreat in October, 1996 to disseminate the information learned. Cost for the
seminar, travel, and living expenses was $5,000.00
7. Wrote a series of articles and reports for The Beacon.
8. $ 18,000.00 ofthe Diocesan budget line item for 1996 was used in support of the new
church developments. The CR&D committee received the report of Christ Church's
(South Bend) Bishop's Committee in its decision to close on September 22, 1996.
9. The CR&D raised questions on how it can function in a more beneficial manner in
conjunction with decision making processes with the Foundation of the Diocese of
Northern Indiana and Diocesan Council and other pertinent diocesan structures. As
the whole issue of Diocesan Structure is being addressed by a separate task force,
the CR&D offers the following application form for grant requests and diocesan
assessment reduction requests. We believe it crucial to engage in congregational
Mission Statements, Long Range Plans, and Stewardship Plans specifically in terms
of financial requests and, generally, for the health of all congregations. The enclosed
application form is not official but does show the direction of our thinking. We offer
it at this time to generate thought and planning for the future for individual
congregational leadership.

The Congregation and Revitalization Committee began its work this past year with
the charge Bishop Gray gave us last year in his address to convention. He asked the
committee to:
1 . develop an organizational framework for congregation revitalization which can be
used as a resource by local congregations
2. define lines of communication and accountability
3. distribute resources in the form of matching grants for congregations to be
equipped for revitalization
4. train and deploy consultants to be used by local congregations
5. continue to conduct workshops which will educate congregations
6. implement Diocesan Council policy regarding assessment reduction
7. encourage and strengthen congregations in their successes
8. provide ways to monitor this program.
Much of this work has been undertaken and accomplished. There is still, however,
more to do. We have found that all of this charge can not with integrity, be fulfilled by
this committee alone. More diocesan structural issues are involved. I will speak more of
this in a few moments but first let me speak of a disappointment and the directions we
are focusing on to enact this charge.
Two years ago, the new church start in South Bend, called Christ Church, began.
Our hope for this congregation was that it would become an eventual program sized
parish. In this hope a full time priest missioner took on the establishment of this
congregation. After almost two years, it became apparent that the congregation was not
growing substantially in terms of numerical and financial growth. It was not seen as good
stewardship of diocesan dollars to maintain a full time priest salary. The congregation
of Christ Church was given several options regarding their future which included closing,
continuing with a priest on a part-time basis, or merging with an existing congregation.
The congregation of Christ Church chose the path of closing. This decision created room
for God to move in an unexpected way. St. Paul's, Mishawaka, called Fr. Ottsen to be their
rector and approximately half the Christ Church membership made St. Paul’s their
church home. This has had immediate, positive impact on St. Paul’s. I have heard the
word "mistake" used regarding the establishment of Christ Church. This is an unfair
characterization. A congregation was established. It was disappointing in that id did not
grow as desired numerically . . . but it did grow as a spiritually vital faith community and
is still bearing fruit within the context of an existing congregation. St. Paul's is to be
commended for its healthy attitude towards the incorporation of an existing faith
community.
Regarding the Christ Church property, the house will be rented by the Root Group
from the Cathedral so it will continue to be used within the context of ministry. The
Congregation Revitalization & Development Committee will continue to evaluate what
worked and what did not work in the establishment of a program sized congregation in
our diocese. We will also evaluate the future use of the former Christ Church house and
land. It might be in the best interest of the diocese to sell the property. It might also,
however, be in our best interest to hold onto it for land banking purposes or the future
establishment of mission in this area. No conclusion has been reached at this point.
Christ Church was not a mistake. It would have been a mistake to not attempt a new
57
church start. There are new congregations being planted across the Episcopal Church.
Some thrive, some do not. We, as a greater Church are learning how to establish new
outposts of Christ’s Body. It is worth celebrating Christ Church. We will learn from it and
continue. Christ Church did not develop as desired but we hope that it never be considered
a failure that binds us as a diocese from trying again to plant new congregations. The
Gospel imperative to seek the world for Christ is still our fundamental stance.
In your packets of information you will find an application form that reflects the
thinking of CR&D regarding congregational petitions for reduction in diocesan assess¬
ments; application for funds from the Foundation; and application for funds from CR&D.
This is a working copy that is not yet fully operational, but does show our theological
thinking regarding the unity of all of our congregations. This approach helps all of us be
there for each other. This document is intended to serve The Foundation of the Diocese
of Northern Indiana, Diocesan Council, and the Congregation Revitalization & Develop¬
ment Committee. It offers a consistent instrument for communication within existing
diocesan structures. It also offers congregations one document to use for several
purposes. We believe that it encourages health in congregational living by focusing on
mission statements, concrete stewardship plans, and long range planning. This appli¬
cation form is intended to be an initial response to the bishop's charge to develop an
organizational framework for congregation revitalization, to define lines of accountability
and communication, make grant money available, and to implement Diocesan council
policy on assessment reductions. We encourage the use of this form at this time. Please
let us know if you have any comments that would help clarify this document.
Regarding the charge to train and deploy consultants for congregational use, we sent
a group of lay people to the Start Up /Start Over seminar this calendar year to begin this
training. We intend in this coming year to continue training diocesan consultants in
various areas of congregational mission strategies and conflict resolution. This will
continue and improve the work of congregational consultations that have already been
made available and utilized. A diocesan resource list is one of our priorities to finalize in
the coming year.
We were also charged to continue educational workshops. In the past year, we made
Education for Ministry available at a reduced rate for all in the diocese. If you would like
further information on EFM please call Deacon Gordon Samra of Trinity Church, Fort
Wayne. During the coming year a workshop called "the Magnetic Church" will be offered
led by the Rev. Andrew Weeks. We will also assist St. Mary’s Monticello and St. Peter's,
Rensselaer in the sponsoring of a conference entitled "Celebrating and Upholding Small
Church Ministry" led by the Rev. Bob Hansel. Please take a look at the CR&D display table
with the beginnings of the diocesan resource library for congregational revitalization.
These resources are available for loan to any congregation.
In terms of future new church planting, we still have opportunities available to us
that convention noted in 1991. It is worth celebrating that, since the 92nd convention.
. .with the building of the new St. Michael's on the north side of South Bend; the relocation
of Grace Church (formerly St. Philip & St. James in Fort Wayne; and the establishment
of congregations in Monticello and Wabash . . four of the eight goals for new development
have been started in the past five years!) As was true in 1991, we still recognize that we
cannot do eveiything we would like to do, but we can do some thing. We do recognize the
need to be cautious with our financial resources but we want to stay on the course of living
into a mission mind set and not merely the maintenance of the status quo. With that in
mind, we still are looking towards the Calumet region to establish a new congregation.
A specific location is not set but the potential there is recognized.
For the coming year, it is our intention to utilize the allocated funds available in the
budget for the continuance of programs in progress; to develop the education projects and
expand the educational resources; to do an in depth analysis of the Calumet region for
a new church start; and to assist in the reformulation of structure.
58
I mentioned diocesan structural issues at the outset of this talk. We applaud Bishop
Gray's directive to set in motion a retooling of the structure of the Diocese of Northern
Indiana. Much is entailed in this. We have recognized over the years the need to clarify
how decisions are made within diocesan structures; to clarify how distinct diocesan
committees impact each other; to clarify the mission strategy of the diocese as a whole.
We applaud the decision to not merely tinker with diocesan structure but to revision how
we live in the larger faith community together. For example, we recognize congregational
revitalization to be inseparable from clergy deployment, evaluation, and accountability;
and continuing education for clergy. We recognize the difficulty in proceeding with clarity
in issues of new church starts, or issues of helping hurting congregations, revitalize,
without clear definitions of aided congregations, mission status congregations, fellow¬
ships groups, and parishes. We believe it is essential that we stay invested in this process
of structure revisioning for the diocese. There is much we can do together but we must
be together. Small congregations, large congregations, congregations that are stable,
congregations that face uncertain or painful futures.. . we cannot afford to think in
isolation from each other. Congregation Revitalization a& Development is the name of a
committee, but we see it to be the work and very fabric of the diocese . . . and it is our
work together.
1996 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
PRESIDING BISHOPS FUND FOR WORLD RELIEF
The Diocesan coordinator works in concert with the clergy, senior wardens, parish
reps and the staff at "815" to effectively promote the Presiding Bishop's Fund for World
Relief. Major emphasis has been placed in two (2) specific areas:
-Recruitment of parish reps
Parish reps are a key link in the Annual Appeal process, hence efforts in this
area.
-Coordination of the Annual Appeal
The need for "undesignated funds" to assist in carrying out the mission of the
Presiding Bishop's Fund for World Relief is paramount.
We have also engaged in dialogue with other diocesan coordinators and the staff at
"8 1 5" to make effective recommendations that will contribute to the success of the Annual
Appeal.
Statistics for the Diocese of Northern Indiana for 1995 and 1996 are:
January 1 - December 31. 1995 January 1 - August 31. 1996
Presiding Bishop’s Fund $9,984.82 $7,464.25
Designated /Restricted $1,652.46 $TBA
Annual Appeal $3,622.17 $2,364.72
Oklahoma City $666.46
Our objectives continue to be (1) promote and coordinate the activities of the Fund
within the Diocese, (2) coordinate the Annual Appeal and (3) continue the recruitment
of parish reps.

REPORT OF THE EPISCOPAL AIDS MINISTRY OF NORTHERN INDIANA
Hotline 1-800-782-9396 provides spiritual consolation and information for re¬
sources available to people who have HIV/AIDS and their families and to those needing
locations of testing places. This is a very worthwhile program because it gives people a
place to call, anonymously, where they can ask any questions freely.
59
I also work with other AIDS organizations where needed, the Aliveness Project,
Lutheran Family Services and the Hospice program. I was very fortunate to have the two
panels of the quilt to display at the diocesan convention last year with the help of the
Aliveness Project. I know that this is the first time most of our people have seen pieces
of the Quilt.
For the past two years, I have been involved with a program in November and
December for World AIDS Day, at the Northern Indiana Arts Center for the seventh-
graders of various schools in this area. The statistics show that of the 8,000 new cases
in Indiana, 80% of which are 13- 19 years old. These statistics may be low as many people
who are HIV go to Chicago for treatment. The young people are brought by school busses
to the Center. They see panels of the Quilt and have a discussion with a person who is
HIV. The students are attentive and the interaction is high. It’s a good thing.
There are many people working with the HIV /AIDS throughout the diocese. They
work singly and with groups. This seems to be the way of AIDS ministry, unless you have
funds that can allow you to have a center with a professional administrator where people
with HIV /AIDS could come for support groups food and clothing, similar to St. Margaret’s
House.
I do wish our budget was large enough to allow those who are working with HIV /AIDS
to go to some of the conferences that are offered for them.
Respectfully submitted,

THE CATECHESIS OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a work of Christian formation for children
that is used in different ways by nine congregations in the Diocese of Northern Indiana.
The work began here at the Cathedral Church of Saint James, South Bend, in the fall
of 1988. The Catechesis is now in use, in whole or in part, in the following congregations
of the Diocese: The Cathedral Church of Saint James, South Bend; The Church of Saint
John the Evangelist, Elkhart; The Church of Saint Michael and All Angels, South Bend;
The Church of the Holy Trinity, South Bend; Saint Alban’s Church, Fort Wayne; Saint
Andrew’s Church, Kokomo; Saint Anne’s Church, Warsaw; Trinity Church, Fort Wayne,
and Trinity Church, Michigan City. In August 1996 the fourth course to train adults as
catechists in this work with children began at Trinity Church.
Each participant in the course pays a tuition of $225.00 for the year. Twenty-five
dollars of this fee is paid to the national association. The balance is used to cdver the cost
of providing a national trainer for each session. The lecture fee for the trainer is $250.00
to $300.00. During the 1996 - 1997 course year nine of ten trainers must be flown in for
the course. One of our trainers comes from Mexico (and her travel is by no means the
highest cost). Twenty-one persons are registered for the current course. For 1996 we have
requested $1,250.00 from the diocesan program budget to support this formation
ministry.
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is continuing to expand in our region and it
is an ecumenical work. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne - South Bend is
currently offering catechist formation. Of the twenty-one participants in our current
course four are Roman Catholic. The sharing of how to bring up children in the Christian
faith is a profound experience for those in this work.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RECOVERY MINISTRIES
MEMBERS: Deacon Frank McKee, Chair
Deacon Alvin Zunkel
George Minnix
The primary work of this committee is, by its nature, performed on a confidential
basis. We are involved in one on one counseling of addicted persons and their families.
Deacon Zunkel, who is professionally involved in addictions treatment, works 30
hours a week for North-eastern Center serving the four counties in northeastern Indiana.
As an Addiction Therapist he provides substance abuse assessments and conducts
regular group treatment focusing on the disease of addiction to alcohol, nicotine and other
drugs. He is currently upgrading his programs in the churches of the diocese.
In addition to counseling one on one with alcoholics and narcotics and with family
members, Fr. Minnix is aFacilitator to Alcoholics with AIDS, working through the Elkhart
County Community Action Group (CAG) of which he is a member of the Board of Directors.
As a recovering person. Deacon McKee regularly works on a non-professional basis
with a number of addicted persons and with their families. He is experienced in setting
up and carrying out interventions and in lecturing and conducting retreats on addictions.
He also serves as a spiritual advisor at an annual retreat of alcoholics at the Perpetual
Help Retreat House in Occonomowoc, WI (which was started by Fr. Joe Hunt of Nashotah
House some 16 years ago). In recent years. Deacon McKee has served as a guest lecturer
at South Bend Memorial Hospital’s "Pathway Center" treatment program. He also has
given a half-day seminar on addictions for the Continuing Pastoral Education program
at St Joseph Hospital in Mishawaka several times in the past.
The committee has several films which cover alcoholism including its ramifications
for families. These films are available for loan to parishes. Also, the committee is
competent to set up and carry out interventions to get persons into formal treatment for
61
addictions to alcohol and other drugs.
The committee is available throughout the diocese for consultations and for showing
films, for putting on seminars and for conducting weekend retreats. All of these have been
done in the past within this diocese. Travel expenses are the only usual cost involved; we
do not charge any fees for our services.
For the past two years the Chair has attended the national conference on "Recovery
Ministries" formerly known as NECAD (National Episcopal Committee on Alcohol and
drugs) and was nominated for election to its Board of Directors at the conference in
Sarasota, Florida this year. Approximately half the cost of the 1996 conference was
reimbursed from the diocesan budget with the other half funded by other means. The
Chair anticipates a continuing membership in that organization as the representative of
this diocese, subject always to the approval of the bishop. The conference for next year
is to be in San Francisco.
The committee meets on an as needed basis. We have had telephone conversations
and have met individually with each other on an informal basis during the past year.

The Beacon is a four page publication of the Diocese of Northern Indiana. It is
62
published every other month and is distributed to diocesan churches and members. The
advisory board meets on an annual basis to review the previous issues and to suggest
changes as needed. All funds allocated are used for printing costs and stipend for the
editors.
ST MARGARET'S HOUSE
The St. Margaret’s House family is winding up another busy year, and like most
families, wondering where the time has gone. Our annual meeting is held on the Sunday
nearest St. Margaret's Day (November 16), so we are pausing, like two-faced Janus, to
consider both past and future.
Numbers are an important measure of the success of a program (though not the only
measure). Some of SMH’s "numbers" since November, 1995 include the following:
-Thanksgiving feast for 65 guests;
-Christmas parties and gifts arranged for 200 women and children;
-90 Easter baskets distributed during the Easter season;
-Lunch served to 30-60 persons, 5 days a week (85 on one memorable occasion!)
-Special activities daily for up to 20 children during school vacation;
-School supplies provided to over 100 children this fall.
A grant from the United Thank Offering enabled St. Margaret’s to establish a
popular, ongoing Life Skills Development group under the direction of professional
counselors. This fall Sister Rita Kammack, a Franciscan nun from Denver, leads weekly
Bible studies in addition to the Life Skills group. The UTO grant also financed special
enrichment opportunities for both guests and volunteers, including off-site retreats.
During 1996 SMH applied for designation as a Jubilee Center. Jubilee Ministry is
a national Episcopal Church program which recognizes excellence in ministries to the
poor. If granted, this designation would enable SMH to become part of a network of
projects with similar goals, sharing ideas for program development among women and
children in need.
The next few years will be crucial in establishing St. Margaret’s on a permanent
basis. It has been observed that small, non-profit projects most often fail in their second
five years, as seed money dries up and operational expenses increase. St. Margaret’s has
been fortunate to date in attracting some community and institutional support in
addition to that of Episcopal and other churches. An important responsibility of our Board
is to work to broaden this support base. We ask your prayers for St. Margaret’s House,
for its guests, for our director, Kathy Schneider, for our volunteers and board members,
as we strive to carry out our ministry of hospitality.

COMMISSION ON THEOLOGY AND LITURGY
Members:
The Rev’d. Michael Basden, Chair, St. Anne’s, Warsaw
The Rev’d John Schramm, St. Thomas’, Plymouth
The Rev’d Stephen Gerth, Trinity, Michigan City
The Rev’d Mark Thompson, St. Anne's, Warsaw
Ms. Clifford King-Harbin, St. Andrews', Kokomo
Mr. Wayne Peterson, Trinity, Fort Wayne
The Commission recently completed several documents for the Bishop. These
documents included customaries for Christian Marriage, Ordination, Burial and Holy
Eucharist. While at the Bishop's discretion, the committee’s intention for the use of the
63
documents is to provide introductory liturgical information and suggestions for the
celebrations of the rites to clergy, vestries and liturgy committees.
Last spring, the Commission held a Day of Reflection with the Bishop to consider
issues surrounding the Episcopate and Christian Initiation. Several issues for the future
were discussed, including Baptism as the focus of a Diocesan Convention. The majority
of the day was directed toward the role of the Bishop in the Catechumenal Process.
In 1996 and 1997 the majority of the funding allotted the commission through the
Diocesan budget has and will be used to supplement the funding of the Leadership for
Parish Musicians Program the Diocese of Northern Indiana co-sponsors with the Diocese
of Indianapolis. Eight students from our Diocese are participating in this important
program. Six of these students are working toward the Presiding Bishop s Certificate in
Church Music to be rewarded at the end of the present academic year. Wayne Peterson,
Parish Musician at Trinity Parish, Fort Wayne, and member of the commission serves on
the faculty along with Marilyn Keiser and Michael Messina.
BISHOP'S AD HOC COMMITTEE ON ETHICS IN MINISTRY
The focus on the Ethics committee this year has been carrying out the education for
church leaders required of us by our Diocesan Guidelines. These training sessions have
included the full length training on the Prevention of Sexual Misconduct and Child Abuse
Prevention as well as several shorter sessions. Sponsored by different parishes in
different areas of the Diocese these evening trainings have served Vestry Members,
Sunday School Teachers and other leaders not required to receive a full six hour training.
I have real admiration for those parishes, the lay leaders and priests, who have
sought our training for their own members. It is hard to give up an evening, especially
for such a difficult topic. Yet, for each evening there has been good attendance and a
sincere effort to grapple issues of safety and abuse. Another, full-length training in Child
Sexual Abuse Prevention takes place this fall in Bristol. Making the time to discuss the
practicalities of avoiding this evil in our churches is a mark of commitment to our
children, ministry, and God.
The Rev. Megan Traquair has served as the primary instructor during 1996. There
are currently discussions bout bringing in other qualified lay people to help lead the
shorter, non -required trainings. I believe that we are laying down the foundation of habit,
construction and thought that will serve our future members well.
Respectfully submitted.
The Rev. Megan Traquair
REPORT ON DIOCESAN YOUTH PROGRAM
Every Convention needs the Macarena . . {everyone told to stand - some actually tried
it)
I was told to be short and funny. Well, I'm not short and I thought you doing the
Macarena would take care of the funny.
Of all the things being discussed at this convention, if we are not going to stop and
consider our youth, we cannot say we care about the future of our diocese. The decisions
we make today, will soon be our young people's to live with. The youth are the emerging
church - all that we are doing today is for them someday. Isn't it?
I work with what is known as Generation X, the no name generation, the "clueless
generation". Those names and the images they portray, are really a reflection of us, not
them. Our kids are a reflection of how much we value them. Now, nearly all of us would
say we value our kids greatly, but the portions of our budgets set aside for their programs
send smother message.
How many of you, at present, know the status of your youth program in your parish?
64
How many of you know the names of your youth that are active, and take notice of those
who are missing? How many of us here are really living out our baptismal vows concerning
the precious young people we saw baptized in our parishes? How many of our parishes
have no youth at all?
As the new Diocesan Youth Coordinator for Northern Indiana, I have a vision -
because I have already seen what can be in a parish and a diocese that puts youth in a
high priority. And I know that our own Bishop Gray does as well.
My vision is to see our youth - know, love, and follow Jesus! I want to see them active
in Christian Service to their church, community and the world. I want to see every parish
in the Diocese meeting the particular needs of their youth.
How do we accomplish this great task? Partly, by doing what's been done so well in
the past years - the foundation that Brian and Ann have laid for us: To have Happening
and New Beginnings weekends; so sponsor Diocesan youth events; to provide summer
opportunities for our children.
I believe the best way to administer these programs is to have a youth and adult
leadership team. We have begun that team again this fall, and I'm excited to be working
with this fine group of youth. They have a lot of great ideas and the motivation to get it
done.
We’ve planned events for this next year including a youth event in each deanery.
January - A Lock In; February - A Masquerade Ball, and this summer we want to have
two camp sessions. One for younger elementary and one for the older youth. We also want
to have leadership training events to help all those working with youth.
Finally, let me remind you that the young people are watching. They are watching
and hoping and praying. They know the importance of what you are doing here. The
emerging church is looking for real leadership and spiritual mentors to point them to the
future.
Will you do all in your power to support these persons in their life in Christ?
(We will - with God's help)
Respectfully submitted,

THE INSTITUTE FOR CHRISTIAN FORMATION ANNUAL REPORT
The Very Rev. Frederick Mann, Director
Mrs. Cindy VanParys, ICF Secretary
The Rev. Mark Thompson, Chairman of the ICF Board
The Institute for Christian Formation (formerly the School for Faith and Ministry)
became fully functional in October 1 995. At that time a new catalogue was published and
provided to all parishes of the diocese. The structure provided for two schools within ICF:
The School for Continuing Education and The School for Diaconal Studies.
The School for Continuing Education, began classes in January of this year offering
courses that could be taken within a day of class study. Faculty members were recruited
from around the diocese -- based upon their interest and expertise in the biblical and
theological studies offered. Classes were held at the Cathedral the first and third
Saturdays of each month. Unfortunately, many of the scheduled classes had to be
cancelled due to lack of registration. Six of the scheduled classes did meet with very
positive responses to the former and content of the courses.
The School for Diaconal Training began its program in November 1995 with three
participants who had completed all continuing education courses under the former
school structure. One of those persons was formally in process for ordination. Classes
in this school met twice monthly with instructors focusing upon the practical aspects of
ordained ministry within the Church. Classes were completed in June of this year, and
the "Diaconal Ordination Exam" was administered to measure readiness for ordination.
Six readers provided evaluation and response to the exams in assessing ordination
readiness. A composite evaluation was prepared by Dean Mann and forwarded to the
commission on Ministry.
Plans were underway in the spring to expand the ICF program to at least one other
location within the diocese. The goal was to eventually offer the same courses in four
locations within our diocesan boundaries. The Rev. Mark Thompson became Chairperson
of the newly established ICF Board to oversee creating a mission statement and
developing this next phase of adult education.
With the implementation of plans to reorganize the diocesan staff and leadership
structure. The Institute for Christian formation was asked to suspend its organization
and development for the coming year. Upon the completion of this assessment, the
continuation of the school will be determined.
The Diocese of Northern Indiana now has a structure and format that may be used
in future development. If you have ideas or suggestions for ongoing adult education within
our diocesan family, please make them known to the staff.
THE GREATER CHAPTER OF THE CATHEDRAL
ANNUAL REPORT
Members: The Rev. Stephen Gerth (1996)
Mr. Mel Ring (1996)
The Rev. David Ottsen (1997)
{Lay electee resigned shortly after election due to business needs)
One priest and one lay person are elected each year for a two-year term to the Greater
Chapter of the Cathedral. More than simply attending Chapter meetings, the Greater
Chapter members bring several important components:
a) expertise in ministry and leadership
b) experience from their own parochial setting
c) the larger perspective of the diocesan family
d) added vision as we shape the future of our mission
66
"As Children of God called to be both parish and cathedral, we experience and
proclaim the power of the Holy Spirit, by which we grow in Christ, serve one another and
bear witness to Him in the local neighborhood the larger community and the diocese."
This statement of vision was adopted by St. James In 1994 to provide a focus for our
common life and mission. As a parish, St. James functions much like any urban church
in our diocese. Our daily life revolves around our worship, ministry and outreach. The
members of the Greater Chapter consistently bring to us the expertise of vocation and
profession in helping our leadership focus on the issues at hand.
As a cathedral, St. James is working to model worship and ministry that will bring
additional depth and leadership to our diocesan family. This would not be completely
possible without the larger perspective brought to us by members of the Greater Chapter.
As we "chart new waters" (the impetus for the name of the Cathedral newsletter,
"Chartings") , the clergy and lay involvement from our sister parishes on the Chapter bring
deeper understanding and broader scope.
We desire to continue developing the role of the Greater Chapter over the coming
years and invite (as well as encourage) lay and clergy members of our diocesan family to
share with us your experience, expertise and vision. We are exceedingly grateful to those
who have given this time and talent. It is invaluable! We ask for those interested in this
ministry of leadership to call the Dean or Wardens for more information and nomination
to future Greater Chapter openings.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSION ON MINISTRY, 1996

The Rev. Canon David Seger (ex officio)
The Commission on Ministry was greatly influenced by a retreat in September of
1995 that was led by Dr. Tim Sedgwick of Seabury Western Seminary. Dr. Sedgwick
helped the Commission to identify several problems in our process of dealing with
aspirants for ordination. It became clear that we needed to substantially revise our
process and that we needed adequate time to do that before we dealt with any more
aspirants. We requested and received from Bishop Gray a moratorium for one year,
beginning in January of 1996. The COM and the Standing Committee went on a joint
retreat in the spring of 1996 to begin the arduous process of revising our guidelines. That
process is nearly complete and will be finalized at a joint meeting of the COM, the Standing
Committee and the Bishop on October 16, 1996. It is our hope that we will be able to
reopen the ordination process in 1997.
One of the flaws in our old process was that it was "back loaded". The screening
process was a continuous one almost up to the point of ordination. The new process will
be "front loaded'. Aspirants will be exhaustively screened in the first nine months of the
process. This new approach will help us, we believe, to better identify appropriate persons
67
called to ordained ministry. In addition, mentors will be in place to assist each person
during their time of study. We feel that our new approach will engage the aspirant, the
local parish and the Diocese in a much more careful and thorough exploration of ministry
and those entering the screening process will have clearer answers, and consequently
less anxiety.
The other change we made is that we are only going to screen aspirants once a year.
Those who feel they might have a call to ordination must begin the process by January
of any given year in order to receive a recommendation by January of the following year.
The commission on Ministry is excited by the possibilities of our new process. It has
involved a considerable amount of work, which could not have happened without the
editing skills of Kitty Clark and David Seger. We would like to publicly thank them for
all of their work.
The Commission on Ministry was asked by Bishop Gray to develop guidelines for
distributing the Forward in Faith money which was designated for continuing education
in the Diocese. Total annual funds available will be about $5,000.00 Applications from
both clergy and laity must be received in the Diocesan office by April 1 of each year and
grants will be awarded by May 15. Because of the limited funds, no grant will be for more
than $500, and successful applicants will be asked to write a written evaluation of their
experience in order to be eligible for future grants. In 1 996, the committee awarded grants
totaling $2525.00 to the Rev. Sue Blubaugh, the Rev. Peg Harker, the Rev. Derek Harbin,
and the Rev. Dabney Smith.
Because of the moratorium, the Commission on Ministry spent very little of our
Diocesan budget. Total expense for the year was $340.00, which we used for our spring
retreat at Wawasee.
In 1997, in addition to screening aspirants for ordination, the Commission on
Ministry will be looking at the licensing on lay preachers and the possibilities for Canon
IX priests and deacons (local priests and deacons ordained for a particular parish) in the
Diocese.
Respectfully submitted.
The Rev. Frank Moss, Chair
REPORT OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE
Purpose of the Committee
Article IV of the Constitution of the Episcopal Church provides that a Standing
Committee be elected by the convention of each diocese to be the council of advice to the
Bishop. The Constitution and Canons of the Church and of the Diocese of Northern
Indiana assign the Standing Committee a role in the process of approving persons for
ordination and the stewardship of the Church's real property. The Committee serves as
the Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese when there is no Bishop or Bishop Coadjutor
in charge of the Diocese.
In our Diocese the Committee consists of six persons, three priests and three lay
persons, who serve a three-year term. Members of the Standing Committee may serve
only two consecutive terms and may not serve on the Diocesan Council. Every year the
convention elects one priest and one lay person to this Committee.
Meetings, Membership and Officers of the Committee

REPORT FROM EPISCOPAL COMMUNITY SERVICES
Last Sunday over 100 people gathered together, in Christian fellowship at Scherwood
South in Schererville, Indiana at a Benefit Luncheon for Episcopal Community Services
at which Bishop Gray was the guest speaker. When this event was first planned, we were
hopeful that attendance would number 30-40. Much to our amazement that original
number nearly tripled.
A lot has been happening at ECS over the last year. To cover it all would take far longer
than the time period I have been allotted.
This summer, the former Chairman of ECS, Jerry Funes, tendered his resignation,
prompted by poor health.
Immediately following Jerry’s resignation, the Board was forced to examine what
direction ECS would take. After a great deal of prayer and reflection, the need for this
ministry was affirmed by all.
The Board of ECS is being expanded to reflect a broader base of the community we
serve. A Transition Team has been appointed to research and implement new programs
and possibly re-structure some of those programs previously offered.
In July, the Board called Fr. Lynn, as Acting Executive Director of ECS to re-organize
it’s structure and programs and to guide the day to day operations at ECS.
We are experiencing an influx of volunteers from the churches in the Calumet, as
well as the surrounding community. And I believe our greatest accomplishment has been
the cooperative effort that has come forth from all of the churches in the deanery. ECS
can be proud that it is serving as a conduit for the revitalization of the Calumet, providing
a means for us to fulfil our Baptismal promises.
69
We continue to serve those in need of assistance through the
a. Food Pantry & Clothes Closet
b. Intake, Information & Referral
c. Furniture Distribution
d. Free Prescription Medications and
e. Limited Free Medical Screening
An After School Program for Children has just been initiated, offering the children
of the community an alternative to the street and providing homework assistance.
There are new programs being researched that include a Neighborhood Program -
which would explore neighborhood problems and seek to develop a cooperative effort with
other organizations and churches in the area to address those problems.
Another program being researched is Non-Violent Conflict Resolution which would
include Workshops and Mediation Services.
We will be faced with new demands as we look at what impact the Welfare Reform
Act is going to have on those currently receiving services and those that may be required
to seek assistance from agencies due to the enactment of this legislation.
It should be noted that ECS does not only serve the poor. We provide a variety of
services to the poor and oppressed, often times providing temporary assistance to Middle
Class individuals and families in crisis. At times those services may be through programs
that we offer, they are served through referral to other agencies that offer appropriate
assistance for the need.
As you can see, ECS is a much needed ministry of the Episcopal Church. One that
we as Episcopalians can be proud to be a part of. I invite you to visit our table in the
conference center during this convention and take home some information regarding the
exciting opportunities available for all of us to participate in through the ministry of ECS.

REPORT OF THE DIOCESE OF NORTHERN INDIANA FOUNDATION, INC.
The Directors of the Foundation met on January 6, 1996, February 24, 1996 and
March 30, 1996. Most significantly, the Foundation has decided to diversity its
investments and invest a percentage of its assets in equity funds. Attached to this report
is the investment policy of the Foundation.
Also attached to the report is the Profit and Loss Statement of the Foundation from
the period of July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996.
Because there were no requests for loans or grants, no meetings occurred in July
and October, 1996.

Investment Policy
The Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana Trust
This Statement of Investment Objectives and Policy is established as a framework
within which Society Bank shall invest the assets of this Trust Account and upon which
the investment results of those assets shall be judged. This statement shall be subject
to review and modification as the circumstances of the parties chang and as outside
events such as legal or regulatory ruling require changes.
Capital Preservation is to take precedence over cash flow.
Investments are to be made in the following securities:
U.S. Government Treasury Bills, Notes and/or Bonds
Federal Agency Securities
70
Securities using direct U.S. Government obligations as collateral
Certificates of Deposit that are fully insured by the F.D.I.C. or F.S. L.I.C.
AA or better rated corporate bonds
The investment strategy is to develop a laddered and balanced maturity schedule
that does not exceed a seven year maturity date. This is to be accomplished by selling
existing investments when prudent and reinvesting the proceeds within the investment
strategy. In order to preserve required liquidity, approximately five to ten per cent of the
total Fund is to be held in cash equivalents (money market instruments and securities
that can be converted to cash within twenty-four hours).
Society Bank has full discretion as to the selection of the individual securities but
the overall framework and direction of the assets shall be decided by the Diocese. If the
quality of the investment changes so that it falls below the scope of these requirements,
such investments should be sold when deemed prudent, reinvesting the proceeds within
the investment strategy.
The Bank and the Diocese should meet to discuss the investments of the Trust at
least four times a year.

REPORT TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
SUBMITTED BY THE EPISCOPAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE (ERC)
June 5, 1996
The ERC in fulfillment of its mission to maintain and support the Episcopate for the
Diocese of Northern Indiana submits the following recommendation to the Finance
Committee in the matter of the compensation for our Bishop, Rt. Rev. Francis C. Gray.
The ERC, in order to make a valid judgements for compensation recommendations,
has examined several factors.
1. Compensation figures, provided by Canon David Seger for 12 other dioceses of
comparable size, were examined to place our Bishop’s financial standing in a more
"national" context.
2. Several criteria were identified which provide concrete indications of the efforts our
Bishop has undertaken in the areas of the financial, administrative, spiritual,
emotional and social wealth and health of the people and churches of this diocese.
The indicators examined were:
-clergy and clergy family "wellness" programs
-visitations made per year
-special programs and series personally conducted
-participation and attendance at national meetings to represent and
further our Diocesan philosophies and positions
-effective clergy and staff development
-fund raising
-stewardship of resources - financial, physical and human
3. Finally, ERC compared Assessment amounts to Episcopate salary amounts for the
years, 1987 to 1996. This information only confirmed that decisions regarding
compensation closely aligned with increases in available assessment monies. In
reality, there had been no adjustments which coincided with superior (or less than
satisfactory) achievements and efforts.
72
The philosophical basis of this recommendation remains grounded in the fact that
a Bishop should be compensated fairly for the leadership and achievements they bring
to a diocese. Their salary needs to follow more closely the concept of tithing rather than,
as many families calculate church giving, upon whatever is left when a budget is set. The
salary goal should be set then the means developed to achieve that goal.
The ERC, based upon the above information, recommends a merit increase of $ 1 ,000
and a cost of living raise for the Bishop. In addition, we recommend a $2,000 increase
in the equity payment for the housing annuity, bringing the total up to $3,800. This is
more than die diocesan recommended $2,400 for someone ordained over 20 years (See
Exhibit A) but takes into consideration the shortened number of years needed to build
a retirement housing annuity for our Bishop.
Respectfully submitted.

the Church of the Resurrection, Wabash and Saint Mary's, Monticello pursuant to
diocesan Canon 9, Mission Organization.
RESOLUTION #2
(Passed)
Presented by the Bishop’s ad hoc Committee for the Companion Relationship
Enter into a Companion Relationship with the Diocese of Honduras
RESOLVED, That the Diocese of Northern Indiana enter into a companion relation¬
ship with the Diocese of Honduras for the purpose of mutual support, prayer and
interdependence in the fellowship of Christ for a period of five years; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the Committee for the Companion Relationship appointed by the
Bishop report annually to the convention of this diocese on the state of the relationship,
a statement of future plans and an accounting for expenditure of all funds during the
fiscal year.
Explanation
Bishop Gray proposed the establishment of such a relationship in his address to the
97th convention last year. (See page 20 of the 1995 Journal.) A similar, but open-ended,
enabling resolution concerning a companion relationship with the Diocese of Enugu was
passed by 87th Convention in 1 985. It is believed that the development of the relationship
will take at least five years. If the relationship is found to be mutually beneficial to both
dioceses it could be renewed for another period of time.

MINUTES OF THE DIOCESAN CONVENTION
The Conventual Mass of the Diocese of Northern Indiana commenced at 1800 on November 7th at
the Chapel of St. James on the campus of Howe Military School. The Rt. Rev'd Francis Gray, Bishop of
the Diocese, celebrated the Mass with The Rt. Rev'd Leo Frade of the Diocese of Honduras preaching about
the importance of the commitment of the Church to its mission. After Mass the company reconvened at the
mess hall of H.M.S. for the Convention Banquet. Bishop Frade spoke to the company there present about
the needs of the Diocese of Honduras, with additional information given about the history of the work of
the Anglican Church in that place.
The Convention was called to order at 0905 on Saturday, November 8th, at the gymnasium of Howe
Military School with prayer by Bishop Gray.
Col. George Douglas, staff member at the Academy, was called upon to introduce the pages for the
convention, all of them cadets from H.M.S.
Several housekeeping details were then dealt with: balloting, items for sale from H.M.S. and
Companeros en Cristo, and refreshments.
The Rev'd Harold Comer was called upon for the Credentials Committee and reported that of 106 lay
persons eligible to vote, 94 were present; of 71 clergy canonically resident and entitled to vote, 50 were
present.
The Bishop declared that Convention was organized for business.
Upon the request of the bishop, the minutes of last year's convention were approved.
The Rules as printed in the 1996 Journal were adopted by unanimous vote.
The Rev'd. Canon John Schramm was nominated by the Bishop as Secretary of Convention; Sharon
Katona nominated to be treasurer. Convention concurred.
Mr. Dan Pfeifer was appointed by the Bishop to be the Chancellor of the Diocese and Mr. Joe Weaver
was appointed Parliamentarian. The Bishop also called attention to other committee appointments, which
are reflected in the Directory (vid. supra.)
The following clergy were introduced to Convention as being new to the Diocese since last
Convention: The Rev'd Brian Grantz - Curate at St. Anne's, Warsaw; The Rev'd Glen Kanestrom, Rector
of St. Paul's, LaPorte; The Rev'd Henrietta Lavengood, non-parochial; the Rev'd Timothy Ljunggren,
Rector, St. John of the Cross, Bristol; The Rev'd Steven Schuneman, Rector of St. Paul's, Munster; and The
Rev'd Mary Katherine Schroeder, Curate of St. Michael's, South Bend, to be ordained priest in December.
Prayers for the departed were then offered, special intentions including: The Rev'd. Bruce Mosier,
William Lewis Stevens, Retired Bishop of Fond du Lac, and Stephen Sheridan's mother-in-law.
Prayers for Frank McKee, Diocesan Deacon, who is ill on this day, were also offered.
The Rev'd Den. Ted Neidlinger then was called upon to show two ballots on the overhead screen for
the Nominations Committee. As each office and its nominees were announced by the Bishop, other

The first six ballots were then collected by the tellers.
The Bishop now introduced The Rev'd Charles Hensel, The Rev'd James Turrell, and The Rev d Mary
Kate Schroeder. Canonically resident outside the Diocese but serving here, the Bishop asked that they be
seated with the parishes they serve. Convention did not object.
Several parishes were then recognized as working in the refugee ministry: St. Andrew’s, Kokomo; St.
Michael's, South Bend; and Trinity, Logansport.
The officers of the Diocesan ECW were then introduced.
Prior to his address, Bishop Gray noted that questions were being distributed to tables that would be
relevant to the matters raised in his address, (vid. infra, for the Bishop's address).
After the address, 10 minutes were given over the discussion at the tables.
William Sneath, retired Navy Captain, Superintendent of HMS, was now called upon to talk briefly
about the H.M.S. and its mission. Established in 1884 in association with the Episcopal Church as a
grammar school for the training of ministers, it became a military school in 1 889, for purposes of structure,
reward, and discipline. Safety, structure, academics and social life - all of these are part of the education
16.
of Howe students. Contrary to popular belief, Howe and military schools in the USA are not places for bad
kids or the elite or for persons who want a military career. The Motto of the school is Church and country;
faith and honour.
The first election results were then reported: The Rev'd Harold Comer and Mr. William Bissell were
elected to the Foundation; to the Cathedral Chapter were elected The Rev'd Martin Lavengood and Ms. Sue
Cummings; The Rev'd Michael Basden was elected to the Standing Committee, but there was no election
in the lay order; Ms. Nancy Brennen was elected as Provincial Synod Delegate, with Mr. David Heady
becoming the alternate; Mr. David Sirugo was elected to the Ecclesiastical Trial Court; and Mrs. Arlyne
Jacobsen was elected to the Episcopate Relations Committee, there being no clerical member elected.
A new Ballot was ordered for the lay member to the Standing Committee, but first John Hodowal was
stricken and the vote took place between Ms. Ippolito and Ms. Kahn. The ballot ordered to elect the clerical
member of the Episcopate Relations Committee was then taken, The Rev'd Loyd Holifield was stricken
from the list and the vote taken between The Rev'd John Meyer and The Rev'd Dabney Smith.
Before the resolutions were presented, the ground rules for debate were rehearsed and five minutes
of convention time were taken for the tables to discuss questions pertinent to the resolutions. The questions
proposed for consideration were: 1. Which of these resolutions is most important to me personally? 2.
Which of these resolutions is most important to my congregation? 3. What does it mean to be a
congregation? 4. What does it mean to be a diocese?
Before the resolutions were debated, The Rev'd Philip Morgan was thanked on behalf of his
congregation and the School for hosting the Convention and presented with a stole brought by Bishop Frade
from Honduras.
Now Resolution No. 1 was presented by The Rev'd Robert Fitzpatrick for the Resolutions Committee,
with recommendation without reservation. It was offered by the Committee for Congregation Revitaliza¬
tion and Development to "Encourage Evangelism and Renewal." Convention approved it by unanimous
voice vote.
Resolution No. 2 was recommended by Robert Fitzpatrick for the Resolutions Committee with the
understanding that an amendment would be forthcoming. The resolution was an amendment to the Canons
redefining the authority of the Diocesan Council. The Rev'd Stephen Gerth for the committee on
Constitution and Canons rose to propose an amendment to the resolution with regard to filling vacancies.
This amendment passed. The Rev'd Dick Kallenberg moved in amendment which would add chairpersons
of various diocesan program commissions and committees to the council with voice and vote. Another item
of his amendment called for meetings at least five times annually. Debate ensued. The Constitution and
Canons Committee urged that appointed persons not be given legislative functions. The amendment was
not passed when the vote was called for. More debate ensued and also questions for clarification. The Rev'd
Jack Meyer offered an amendment to substitute the word: "committee" for "legislative authority" in section
2, 1 . The Constitution and Canons Committee urged defeat of the amendment. The amendment failed. When
finally the vote on the resolution was taken, it passed as amended.
Robert Fitzpatrick moved resolution No. 3 for the Resolutions Committee with grave reservations and
urged convention to consider amending it. Jack Meyer offered such an amendment and moved to amend
by substitution. It was seconded, but before debate could take place, a five minute recess was taken for repair
of the sound system. During the interim the Credentials Committee updated its report: of 7 1 clergy, 5 1 were
present and voting. Of 106 lay, 98 were present and voting.
Convention reconvened at 1119, with nearly a twenty minute break, and debate on resolution No. 3
resumed. Robert Fitzpatrick moved to amend the substitute amendment in section "f, which dealt with
representatives from affected congregations. The new section read, as amended: "a total of two persons
elected by each deanery as represented by the delegates of this convention at deanery meetings called by
the Deans before by March 1, 1998. The amendment was passed. Now on vote of convention, the substituted
resolution was approved as the resolution to be considered. Upon further vote, convention passed the
amended substitute resolution.
It was now reported to Convention that The Rev'd Dabney Smith was elected to the Episcopate
Relations Committee, and that Ms. Martha Kahn was elected to the Standing Committee. This concluded
the elections.
Now Robert Fitzpatrick moved the adoption of Resolution No. 4 for the Resolutions Committee and
noted an amendment that would be forthcoming. Immediately Stephen Gerth moved that the consideration
17.
of this resolution and the next one be postponed until the adoption of the budget had been moved. The
motion passed and these were not considered at this time.
Mrs. Sharon Katona came to present the treasurer's report. After some questions were asked about
certain of the details it was accepted as printed.
Convention broke into its business at 1 145 to offer noonday prayers, then recessed at 1 150 for lunch,
intending to reconvene at 1300. Convention did reconvene at 1300, for presentations on diocesan life.
Mrs. Nan Lunde was called upon to make a presentation on behalf of the ECW to St. Margaret's House
- a UTO grant given through the national church. The grant was in the amount of $10,000 and will be used
for kitchen renovations.
Mr. Andrew Moore and Mrs. Aleta Watton came to make a presentation on the diocesan youth
program. After the traditional crazy song, Aleta Watton thanked all who have supported youth ministry -
especially adults who have helped, both lay and clerical. The president of YALT (the Young Adult
Leadership Team), Andrew Moore, was introduced by Aleta and he reported on behalf of the YALT. He
noted change and growing spiritual depth amongst the youth leadership. He also reported on the recent
leadership retreat and the mission statement which came out of the weekend. The main goal of the youth
program as stated by the youth themselves is to enable youth to know, love, and serve Christ within the
Church. The team is focusing this year on training youth leaders to take real responsibility in the diocese.
Youth ministry is headed in the right direction, but needs the help of the churches. Adult helpers are
particularly needed, as well as some monetary assistance. He reported also on the personal difference that
the EYE and especially Happening have had in his life. Y ALT's motto: youth are the church of the future
and the future is now.
Barb Cassis, the lay director of the Northern Indiana Cursillo organization came next to report on the
state of the movement in the diocese. The Cursillo secretariat has been working on a mission statement.
John Beatty, the newly appointed Historiographer of the diocese and author of the history of trinity
Parish, Ft. Wayne, was next introduced. He would like to put together a history of the diocese now that we
are approaching our centennial in 1998 and asked for the help of interested members of the parishes of the
diocese.
The work of the Diocese in companionship with Honduras was now highlighted. Before the chairman
of the Companeros en Cristo, Mrs. Arlyne Jacobsen, was introduced, Bishop Gray noted that the offering
at the convention mass amounted to $1800. He is designating it for the repairs which are needed on Bishop
Frade's car. (Before convention was over, an additional $200 was given.) Arlyne Jacobsen gave a brief
report, told a story about Honduras, and announced the production of the new brochure. Bishop Frade was
introduced again and called attention to the little hand made angels on the tables from Honduras, gifts from
the diocese. He then offered to answer questions from the company.
Dabney Smith came on behalf of the CRD and called attention to the written report, (vid. infra.)
The Rev'd Richard Kallenberg came now to present the budget for 1998 and moved its acceptance
on behalf of the finance committee.
Derek Harbin then came to move as an amendment to the budget resolution #5, which called for a
reduction in the assessment rate. Dabney Smith offered an amendment which would have moved the
reduction to the 1999 budget year and not specify anything about council adjusting the budget as called for
in the original resolution. A vote was taken on the amendment, which failed.
Now came the vote on the amendment itself. The chair declared the vote to be a tie, and so defeated.
But after a question was raised as to the proper way to ask for a new vote, the Bishop ordered a recount.
This time the results of the vote were 79 in favour to 68 opposed. Resolution #5 passed.
Further debate continued on the budget. A question was asked in regard to whether there were
sufficient funds for youth ministry. The Rev'd David Ottsen moved as an amendment that the Diocesan
Council is directed at its first meeting after Convention to reallocate $1200 from contingencies to youth
ministry. The amendment was seconded and passed.
As an additional budget consideration, Resolution #4, dealing with the possibility of a mortgage on
a new chapel at Wawasee, was discussed. The Resolution Committee moved its acceptance. The Rev d
Frank Moss then proposed an amendment to the resolution, which was seconded. This resolution
incorporated the body of resolution #4 and called for a study of its place within diocesan mission strategy.
The amendment passed. Now the vote was taken on the resolution, which also passed as amended. Finally,
Convention came back to the budget itself. The vote was taken on the budget as amended. The budget as
18.
amended passed.
There were no additional resolutions and the Bishop informed convention that the usual letters of
greeting and appreciation will be sent to the appropriate people.
It was noted that the 1998 Diocesan Convention will be the Centenary Convention, to be held on
November 6 and 7 at Trinity Church, Michigan City. The new Presiding Bishop, Frank Griswold, is due
to be the convention speaker. Closing prayers were offered by Bishop Gray and Convention adjourned at
1442.
Respectfully submitted
The Rev'd Canon John E. Schramm
Secretary to Convention

THE BISHOP'S CONVENTION ADDRESS
1997
For anyone who studies scripture, the maps in the back of the bible have a special place. One in
particular in my bible shows the missionary journeys of Saint Paul to such places as Ephesus, Rhodes,
Corinth, and Athens. There was a discernible plan - a mission strategy - which Paul followed throughout
his ministry. He was in regular contact with his congregations, constantly doubling back to check on them,
writing letters to them, holding them accountable to him and to one another. Further, he held himself
accountable to each of these places as well. There is an often-repeated phrase in Paul’s writings, occurring
especially in the Corinthian letters. The phrase is, "in all the churches". For example, in I Corinthians 7: 17,
Paul says, "This is the rule I give in all the churches." In II Corinthians 8: 18, "We have sent the brother who
is praised as an evangelist in all the churches and who, what is more, was elected by all the churches to be
our traveling companion." This phrase shows that, in all of Paul’s letters, there is a sense of mutuality and
common purpose. Although Paul would not have used the words, what we have described in the New
Testament in a diocese - a group of congregations who are linked together for the proclamation and
extension of the Gospel and who have an apostolic leader.
This pattern of leadership, adapted for local custom, is the norm for most of the Christian world. To
he an Anglican, indeed to be a catholic Christian, one must be linked to a bishop in a diocese, Anglican
polity, or government, then, is not a congregational polity - we are not Baptists. Ours is an episcopal polity
- a church of bishops and this has been the case from New Testament times until now. That which makes
our polity Anglican is that our bishops are in communion and fellowship with the Archbishop of
Canterbury. Indeed, in the summer of 1998, one thousand Anglican bishops will gather for the Lambeth
Conference at the invitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
As with the apostolic church, the diocese is the smallest complete unit of the church. That is to say,
the church in her completeness is seen in the bishop and the congregations in his or her charge. In a diocese,
the basic unit for evangelism and mission is the local congregation. Dioceses cannot exist without
congregations, nor can congregations exist without other congregations and their bishop.
We have a wonderful diocese with almost one hundred years of rich history. Thankfully, our diocese
has no deep-seated problems or violent conflicts. As we approach 1998, our centennial year, it is important
to renew our mission strategy, to redefine the terms of that mission, to reaffirm that which is working and
to review that which is not working.
About two years ago, I sensed restlessness in our diocese. Some of our committees were not
functioning well. There seemed to be some dissatisfaction in some areas of the diocese. I, personally,
seemed to have lost some focus in my own sense of vision for the diocese. In order to address these concerns
directly and not wait for things to escalate, it seemed wise to seek counsel. Diocesan leadership determined
that a process of restructuring was needed - not for its own sake - but for the sake of the mission. Last year s
Diocesan Convention allocated a sum of money to hire a consultant who has been working with us for a
year. The next section of this speech will address the process of restructure and the findings.
Process of Restructure: A committee of three persons was appointed to find a consultant. This
committee interviewed three firms. The firm hired was Susan Miller and Associates. Susy Miller has been
working with our diocesan leadership for over nine months. She is no stranger to this diocese. She not only
was our convention speaker in 1994, but also has led workshops in this diocese. As part of the present
consultation, Suzy has held three extensive meetings with the committee and with me. She has conducted
three one-day meetings with the clergy of the diocese and one meeting with lay leaders. The original
committee has been enlarged to eight persons. Future meetings are in the planning stage.
The meetings so far have been very helpful. The findings have revealed several areas of strength and
several areas of concern. First, I will address the areas of concern. This diocese has traditionally viewed
leadership using a hierarchical model. Leadership has been seen as flowing from the bishop through the
clergy to the lay leaders and then to the congregations.
Bishop
Priests
Deacons
Vestries
20.
Congregations
The restructuring committee likened this understanding of leadership to the static - and incorrect -
picture of the Blessed Trinity, i.e.
Father
Son
Holy Spirit
A correct understanding of the Holy Trinity is the co-inherence of the three persons in a dynamic, not
static, relationship.
Such a model of leadership, when applied to the diocese would look like this.
There would be interconnectedness all the way through the system rather than a straight line. Such
a system, when put into practice, enfleshes a saying of former Presiding Bishop John Allin, that "bishops
should be centered not elevated."
The results of the consultant's meetings further revealed that there is a tendency toward Congregation¬
alism on the one hand and "Lone Ranger" behavior on the other. Concerns were registered that the bishop,
at times, has acted without proper consultation with the appropriate ecclesial bodies. Conversely, there are
clergy and congregations who are resistant to diocesan leadership and programs, and who fail to see the
value of the larger church. Our consultant has observed that these two types of behavior are dependent on
each other. There are times when some congregations do not feel that their concerns are heard and thus will
tend to draw in upon themselves. There are also times when the bishop will act unilaterally when he
perceives a lack of support by some congregations.
The findings further noticed a sense of competitiveness among clergy and congregations. Perhaps
some of the perceived weakness in the deanery system is due to competitiveness and lack of trust among
the congregations. One of the signs of this is the lack of attendance by clergy at ordinations and celebrations
of new ministries. Perhaps the lack of cooperation among congregations is due to the fear of loss of
members. A good example of how cooperation can be life giving is in the Calumet Deanery, where most,
but not all, of the congregations cooperate in educational and social outreach programs.
A final area of concern that also leads us toward our strengths is that of the need for a new vision and
plan for the future of our diocese. Let's review some of our recent history. In 1989, 1 presented an extensive
report entitled A Pastoral Plan for the Decade of Evangelism. That decade is coming to a close and, indeed,
a new vision is needed. In 1991, a vary capable and energetic committee presented the report entitled
Building the Body that expanded and responded to the 1989 plan. This led to a successful Forward in Faith
capital funds campaign. Much has taken place since that time. Although there have been some pitfalls along
the way, it is important that we pay attention to where these recent meetings are leading us.
In order to do this, let's focus now on some of the strengths that have been identified. 1. The diocese
is no longer in a poverty/desperation mode of thinking. Thankfully more financial resources are in place
due to improved stewardship and sound financial management. There are resources available for growth
and mission.
2. Deployment of clergy is working effectively. The diocese continues to retain our fine clergy while also
attracting excellent new clergy from other dioceses. Retreats, conferences, clergy days and educational
workshops are well attended and received. Many clergy report feeling supported and pastorally cared for
by the bishop. As mentioned earlier, The Forward in Faith capital campaign was successful. That is a good
indication of the commitment to mission, which exists among us. I am most encouraged by the vitality that
is evident among the fine leadership present at this meeting and am confident that God is leading us to new
places as a new vision emerges. This will continue to come into focus as we work together to review,
redefine, reaffirm, renew and restructure.
Ultimately vision leads to empowerment - the empowerment of the people of God. A vision for this
diocese emerges from the entire people of God, and not just from the Bishop. One of my favorite passages
of scripture is the sixth chapter of Ephesians. In part it reads: "In all your prayer and entreaty, keep praying
in the Spirit on every possible occasion. Never get tired of staying awake to pray for all God's holy people,
and pray for me to be given an opportunity to open my moth and fearlessly make known the mystery of the
gospel of which I am an ambassador in chains; pray that in proclaiming it I may speak as fearlessly as I ought
to." (Eph. 6:18-20). This passage speaks of the empowerment of God's people and the responsibility for
leadership.
21.
If there has been a central theme of my episcopate, I hope that it has been our need to proclaim Christ
Jesus and to witness his saving and healing grace. I have attempted to give personal testimony of God's
saving grace in my life. Repeatedly, I have quoted the old spiritual, "My hope is built on nothing less than
Jesus^blood and righteousness. On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand" (LEV AS
II, P.99). This hymn, which we sang last night, speaks of our task of making known the good news of Christ
in the power of the spirit to the glory of the Father. All else is secondary to this calling, and all that we do
as a church should be centered in Christ.
It is my belief that when persons are renewed in Christ and healed in the spirit, good things will happen.
People will listen to preachers who speak with a resistless energy of love and lives will be changed. When
lives are changed, churches become healthy and vibrant. This, to me, is empowerment. That is, God
empowering us to be his people in this broken world.
Sadly, much of what the church is involve in is maintenance, not mission. Some people seem more
committed to paying bills than seeking Christ, to repairing buildings than repairing hearts. When churches
and their leaders put maintenance before ministry, they are reversing the intended gospel order. People who
are transformed by the renewal of their minds and hearts will meet their budgets and care for their buildings
because they have been touched by the Lord of Life.
One of the most powerful experiences I have had was to be taught by two great women of faith, Jeanne
Glanton and Agnes Sanford. These women convinced me that God heals lives and that my life could be
healed in the power of the spirit. These saints of God prayed for me to receive the empowerment of the Holy
Spirit and to receive a deepening sense of God's presence in my life and in the lives of the congregations
committed to my care. I have seen lives transformed, marriages healed, churches renewed, and addictions
surrendered. One of the most challenging aspects of my ministry is to attempt to share this message to
different congregations each week.
We must find ways to reach people with the good news that Christ is at work in lives in this day and
age. As this happens, our churches will become centers of vitality rather than maintenance.
This ministry of empowerment calls forth mutual responsibility and interdependence in the body of
Christ. In the epistle to the Philippians, Paul states: "I thank my God whenever I think of you, and every
time I pray for you all, I always pray with joy for your partnership in the gospel". (Phil 1:3-4) This gospel
we proclaim has mutual, shared implications. No one person proclaims the gospel; there is no such thing
as a "Lone Ranger" evangelist. When we have shared leadership rather than hierarchical leadership, all
persons share in the responsibility. All receive the rewards of success. All share in accountability for
shortcomings and failures. Paul, again, pointed out this shared nature of the gospel when he said that he
planted, Apollos watered, but Christ gave the increase. (I Cor. 3:6) "After all," Paul says, "nobody can lay
down any other foundation than the one which is already there, namely Jesus Christ. (I Cor. 3:11)
Lest we succumb to the temptation that we are only responsible to and dependent upon ourselves, I
offer two illustrations of mutual interdependence. One illustration is from commerce and another from
nature.
We live in a global economy. The Hong Kong market affects stock prices on Wall Street. Kathy Lee
Gifford's and Michael Jordan’s sponsorships of clothing products affect sweatshop workers in Asia and
Honduras. Mexican migrant workers are housed here at Howe Military School each summer, and their
presence boosts the local economy. If our secular culture is interdependent, how much more so is the Body
of Christ. When we fail to support our mission responsibilities in the National Church, Hondurans pay the
price. Conversely, when we give money to the Presiding Bishop's Fund for World Relief, lives are saved
in the farthest comers of the world.
Another analogy for the church is the mushroom, which grows in the woodlands of Indiana.
Mushrooms are connected by tiny filament sized threads which stretch for great distances. Indeed, there is
strong evidence that singular mushrooms are not individual plants at all, but are part of a vast system that
is, in fact, one plant. "Now you are the Body of Christ," Paul says. "Over all things put on love, the perfect
bond. And may the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, because it is for this that you were called tQgethgi
in one body. Always be thankful. Let the word of Christ in all its richness find a home in you." (Col. 3:14-
16) Note that Paul is speaking in the plural, not the singular. He is speaking to the whole "colony" not just
one individual. We must be mutually responsible to one another, not mutually exclusive. Lone Ranger
behavior and Congregationalism must cease so that Christ can be glorified and his community edified.
Our diocese can be very encouraged by the signs of hope here. The very effort of restructuring has
22.
uncovered some historic behavior patterns and has given us power to name problems and correct them, to
see blessings and celebrate them. There is much to do. Many persons have pointed to our deaneries as places
where we can become more connected with one another. Keep in mind that the bishop and council cannot
change the deaneries. That must come from within the deaneries. Churches must meet and cooperate - like
the South Bend churches that are starting joint Holy Week services. As your bishop, I will be conducting
another Lenten Teaching mission in all six deaneries and have received invitations from several churches
that want to host these events. This series will be called "An Introduction to Holy Scriptures". Further, I will
be happy to spend extended times in all of our deaneries in the future.
Suggestions have been made to have computers in all congregations and to connect the diocese with
all congregations through the Internet. This could improve communications for all of us. Such a plan is
possible if there is interest and leadership to implement it.
Finally, as you can see, there is much to be hopeful for in this good church which God has entrusted
to our care. I am especially thankful for your presence here and for your willingness to serve Christ. You
are proclaimers of the gospel and, as St. Paul says, "whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name
of the Lord." (Col. 3:12)
Bishop's addresses and convention actions have little affect if they are not reported on and enacted
in your local worshipping community. I charge you to recommit yourselves to Christ, to be partners with
me in the gospel and to make the congregations in which you live places where the Gospel of Jesus shines
forth in this darkening world. Or as the deacon of the Eucharist says, "Let us go forth into the world rejoicing
in the power of the spirit."

THE DIOCESE OF NORTHERN INDIANA, INC.
Independent Auditor's Report
Warner, Armstrong & Jones 525 West Washington Street, Suite 100
South Bend, Indiana 46601
(219) 234-1100
To The Council
Diocese of Northern Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc.
South Bend, Indiana
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position (cash basis) of Diocese of
Northern Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related (cash
basis) statements of activity for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those
standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
As described in Note 1 , these financial statements were prepared on the cash basis of accounting,
which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles. The
Diocese also did not record capital assets and the related depreciation prior to January 1, 1994.
In our opinion, except for the effects of not recording capital assets and related depreciation, the
financial statements of Diocese of Northern Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc. present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and its support, revenue,
expenses, and changes in net assets for the years then ended on the basis of accounting described in
Note 1.
The additional information included on pages 11-14 has been subjected to auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
August 13, 1997

DIOCESE OF NORTHERN INDIANA OF THE
EPISCOPAL CHURCH, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1996
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Purpose and Presentation
To take, administer and dispose of in accordance with the laws and constitution and canons of the Episcopal
Church of United States of America, and more especially of the constitution and canons of the Diocese of
Northern Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc., properties of all kinds, character and types, real, personal
and mixed tangible and intangible for the benefit of the ecclesiastical body known as the Diocese of
Northern Indiana of the Episcopal Church, Inc. The Diocese covers a geographical area in Northern Indiana
spreading East to the Ohio border, West to the Illinois border, North to the Michigan border, and South to
Marion, Indiana. The Diocese includes thirty-six parishes.
Financial Statement Presentation
The Diocese adopted provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 117,
"Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations" as of January 1 , 1994 by restating the 1994 financial
statements. Under SFAS No. 117, the Diocese is required to report information regarding its financial
position and activities according to classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted and
permanently restricted net assets. The Diocese has reclassified its financial statements to present classes as
required. This reclassification had no effect on the change in net assets for the year ended December 31,
1994.
Contributions
The Diocese also adopted SFAS No. 116, "Accounting for Contributions Received and Contributions
Made" effective January 1, 1994. In accordance with SFAS No. 1 16, the diocese reports gifts of cash and
other assets as restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated
assets. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose
restriction is an accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and
reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Application of SFAS No. 1 16
resulted only in a change of classifications.
Basis of Accounting
It is the policy of the Diocese to prepare its financial statements on the basis of cash receipts and
disbursements. Under this method, revenue is not recognized until it is received, and expenses incurred are
not recognized until they are paid. This is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally
accepted accounting principles.
Property and Equipment, and Depreciation
Beginning January 1, 1994, it is the policy of the Diocese to record property and equipment acquisitions
as capital assets. Prior acquisitions of office equipment have been recorded as an operating expense.
28.
Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the capital assets on a straight-line basis for the
past January 1, 1994 acquisitions only. Depreciation expense is $3,415 for 1996 and $3,308 for 1995. This
is a departure from generally accepted accounting principles.
Retirement Plan
The Diocese has a defined contribution retirement plan. Individual contracts with the church pension fund
are purchased for all qualifying employees. To qualify for the retirement plan, an employee must be a full¬
time salaried employee of the Diocese. The retirement plan expense for the years ended December 3 1 , were
$24,312 - 1996 and $23,996 - 1995.
Income Tax Status
The Diocese is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code and under
a similar state statute. Therefore, no provision has been made for income taxes in the financial statements.
Accounting for Net Assets
To ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of the resources available to the
Diocese, the accounts are classified according to their nature and purpose, and accordingly, all financial
transactions have been recorded and grouped by class. The net assets and diocese activities are grouped and
reported in major classes as described below.
Unrestricted Net Assets - are available for use at the discretion of the Council to support general
and administrative operations. They include Operating Net Assets and Endowment Net Assets.
Endowment Net Assets - are restricted by the Council for particular activities and/or programs.
The following are Endowment Net Assets:
Episcopate
An endowment fund for operations was established as required by the National Church. The
interest is used for operations.
Reserve
An endowment fund established as an emergency reserve for salaries of the bishop and staff in
case of any interruption of income from the congregations. The Council must approve any reduction in
principal. The interest is available for general operations. An amount is budgeted each year to increase the
reserve.
Sabbatical
The Council has established a fund to provide for the Bishop and Canon's sabbatical.
General Convention
The Council has established a fund from which to pay for the Bishop and seven other people
to attend the National Convention which is held every three years.
Lambeth

Lambeth conference in England every ten years.

interest for sustaining a choir. By court order, interest now is available to the Diocese for operations.
Krause Fund

ministry." The Bishop uses the income for education expenses such as books and conferences.
Christ Church Gary Seminarian's Fund
The donor was the church in Gary, Indiana. The principal came from the funds on hand when
it closed. The interest is to be divided equally to seminarians from the Gary area each year. If no seminarians
from the Gary area exist, then it is to be given to other seminarians in the Diocese of Northern Indiana. Funds
are disbursed as requests are made to the Bishop.
Emma Wallach Theological Fund

fund that is restricted for seminarian education expenses.

to revitalize existing congregations, to provide for continuing education for clergy and laity, outreach
projects and Diocesan Endowment. Total pledges received as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 were
$179,940 and $375,033, respectively.

hungry and indigent of Northwest Indiana.

MINUTES OF DIOCESAN COUNCIL MEETING
Present: Lay Members: Sharon Katona (Treasurer), Rich Wolf (Calumt), Samuel Sommers (Elkhart),
Kathleen Fluhrer (Wabash), Dan Ewing (Ft. Wayne); Clerical Members: Frank King (Wabash), Dick
Kallenberg (Elkhart), J.P. Carver (Ft. Wayne), Dale Hathaway (Michigan City), David Ottsen (South
Bend), John Schramm (Secretary), and Bishop Gray. (Visitors: Aleta Watton, Kirk Philippsen, Derek
Harbin.)
The meeting was called to order with prayer by John Schramm at 1003. Bishop Gray then led a short
meditation before the business of council began.
i. The minutes of the meeting of the last meeting were approved as printed.
ji The treasurer's report for 30 November was presented. Sharon Katona noted that there were several
parishes more than one month behind. (St. David's, Elkhart, 5 months; St. Alban s. Ft. Wayne, 3
months; St. Augustine's, Gary, 4 months; St. Barnabas', Gary, 6 months; St. Michael's, South Bend,
3 months.) Council gave approval for several small overages in the budget to occur, with funds to
be taken from others in which there was money still available.
iii Aleta Watton was present with council to report on several youth activities. She reported that the
money raised for the ECS through the bowl-a-thon was not as much as previously reported and that
some of the contributions people had made, went for expenses of the event, rather than all for ECS.
The request was made that some money be found to make up the amount reported as raised. This
would amount to about $300. Sharon said that some funds were abailable from another line in the
youth program. This trasnfer was moved, seconded and passed. With regard to summer camp,
Aleta hoped for help with a $3,000 overage still due for last summer's camp. There is money
abailable in the line for medical insurance payments for retired clergy and clergy widows sufficient
to cover it. A motion was made to make this transfer possible, though the budget will show an
overage in the youth budget. The motion passed.
iv. St. John of the Cross, Bristol found an error in computing for the last year's parochial report which
resulted in an overassessment for 1997 of about $500. The budget for 1998 has been adjusted, but
the parish requests an adjustment for 1997. A motion was made to adjust the 1997 accordingly. It
passed.
v. A letter from St. Barnabas, Gary, was now distributed, in which the parish requested the
forgiveness of the arrears on the 1997 assessment. David Hyndman and Rich Wolf have met with
the parish and talked through the several issues involved this last week. Plans are now under way
for the parish to develop a stewardship plan, a mission statement, and other long range plans
necessary for the future of the parish, including meetings throughout December. Discussion
followed. The secretary was instructed to write to the parish commending them for the plans they
are working on and encouraging them to be current for 1 998 assessments. We cannot actually make
an assessment reduction without the plan being completed. 1997 assessments are not being acted
on - this will be included in the plan that the parish develops. All adjustments will be made on the
basis of the plan developed. There was a consensus of the council in regard to contents of the letter.
vi. Council was asked to confirm John Ritter to the Episcopate Relations committee because he was
runner up at the convention. It had been the plan to the runner-up to take this unexpired term, but
the details were not explained to convention at the time. Council approved.
vii. The Bishop brought up the matter of parish audits and the fact that Frank McKee is willing to do
these for parishes not able to pay for a full scale audit. Council was asked to officially take note
of this audit offer on the part of Deacon McKee and recommend his offices to the diocese.
Discussion rasied the point of whether there were other qualified people available. It was also noted
that canons allow in-house, non-professional audits, but there are no guidelines available for these.
54.
The Bishop noted this discussion and will look for these people. The diocesan office (Sharon
Katona) will also prepare a list of guidelines for parishes which want to do an internal audit. A
motion was made that council amend its requirements for petition for assessment reduction to
include a current audit and it is the understanding of the council that each parish and mission is
required by the church to carry out an audit, using the guidelines from the national church for this
purpose. The motion carried.
viii. The matter of the required budget reduction now came for consideration. The figures that need to
be dealt with were now presented to council. Trinity, Fort Wayne, has decided to pay the whole
amount originally asked. So also did Gethsemane; and St. Paul's, Mishawaka, will give half of the
1% reduction to the diocese, the other half to be expended charitably. $5,538 is the amount in
question here. Rich Miller also offered to forgo his travel allowance of $ 1 ,000. There is also some
insurance money abailable: $2,300 is no longer required as originally thought when the budget was
being drawn up. $4,500 is also available from retired clergy and widows line. The total that does
not have to be taken from the budget thus amounts to $13,338.76. So council needs to reduce the
budget by $22,208. The Bishop called upon everyone at the table to offer a plan. Several ideas were
presented. It was discovered that another $3,000 was needed for youth work, if there is not to be
a large overage in the camp budget again next year. A motion was now made to reduce the national
assessment by $8,858 to $100,042; reduce the BEACON by $5,000; reduce the assistant secretary
salary saving $3,400; remove $1,000 from clergy retreats; remove $1,000 from the formation
category (from several lines); and to take $1,000 from the minimum salary fund. Here is a savings
of $20,258. The motion was seconded. An amendment was made to reduce the BEACON reduction
by $2,500 and restore cuts to Formation. Seconded. The amendment failed. Another amendment
was offered: to increase the cut from clergy retreats to $3,350. Seconded. This amendment passed.
Now the total saved is $22,608. An amendment was made to add $2,700 taken from convention
expense (it is likely that congregations will be asked to bear a registration fee). Seconded. This
amendment also passed. Now the total cut is up to $25,308. Another amendment was offered: to
reduce the line items called conferences, staff travel, and bishop's house depreciation by 5%, giving
another $550. Further, to take the difference equally for the remaining $500 from reserve
contributions and CRD. (This would restore the Archdeacon's travel allowance.) The amendment
passed. Another amendment was made: to substitute another $1,000 from CRD for the amount
taken from formation. This amenment passed. Now the main motion passed. A motion to amend
the 1 998 budget to increase camps by $3,000 was then made and it also passed. So the total savings
needed come from: national assessment - $8,858; BEACON - $5,000; assistant secretary - $3,400;
clergy retreats - $3,500; minimum salary fund $1,000; convention expense $2,700; conferences,
staff travel, and bishop's house depreciation - $500; reserve contributions - $250; CRD - $1,250.
ix What to do about the BEACON? A motion was offered: to establish a task force to review, define,
evaluate costs, and propose a process and structure for the dissemination of Diocesan information
and planned activities, and to report back to Diocesan Council no later than September, 1998. The
motion was seconded and passed.
x. Rich Wolf moved that council ask all parishes which take advantage of the assessment reduction
from convention to report to council on how they spent it, assuming that the extra money was
supposed to be used for outreach. Seconded. A discussion followed in which it was noted that there
was no suggestion that outreach was the reason for the reduction convention voted on. The original
mover was asked to amend his motion so that it be a request from all parishes, not suggesting a
mandatory requirement. This adjustment was made and the motion passed.
xi. In light of council's action, there will be only a few issues of BEACON left and then a committee
will be appointed to study the issue.
xii. It was reported by Rich Wolf that the papers have been handed over to St. Stephen's Missionary
Baptist Church which now make the old Christ Church Gary their very own. The mortgage on ECS
55.
is also now retired as part of the same process.
1998 members of committees required by convention action. Wawasee committee: The Bishop
appointed as Chair: Kern Trembath; CRD appointments are: David Hyndman, and Brian Grantz;
All Saints members: Linda Huhes and Larry Biller. Council needs to appoint/elect two. J.P. Carver
volunteered as did Kirk Philippsen. The volunteers were accepted by vote. Canons Committee: The
CRD appointments are: Tina Velthuizen and Jane Schmoetzer; Council appointed David Ottsen
and Stephen Gerth.
Biship thanked council for its work and suggested setting dates for the meetings for the next severa
months. It was determined that the next meeting would be: February 14, at the Cathedral at 1000.
The following meeting would be at 1000 at the Cathedral on April 25th.
There being no further business, the meeting was concluded with prayer at 1 306 by Dale Hathaway.
Respectfully submitted,
(The Rev) John E. Schramm
Secretary of Convention
56.
PROGRAM
COMMITTEE
REPORTS
CONGREGATION REVITALIZATION & DEVELOPMENT
Report to Diocesan Convention - November 1997
The work of the CR&D committee during the last year continued to be structured upon the charge
given to this committee by Bishop Gray at the 1995 Diocesan convention. This charge bears repeating here.
The CR&D committee was asked to concentrate on:
1 The development of an organizational framework for congregation revitalization which can be used
as a resource by local congregations
2. The defining of lines of communication and accountability
3. The distribution of resources in the form of matching grants for congregations to be equipped for
revitalization
4. The continuation of educational workshops
5. The implementation of Diocesan Council policy regarding assessment reductions
6. The training and deployment of consultants for use within the diocese.
7. The encouragement and strengthening of congregations in their successes
8. The development of ways to monitor this program.
DIOCESAN CONSULTANTS - Last years oral report to Diocesan Convention stated our intention to
further the work of training diocesan consultants. This is a necessary component in points #1,2,- 4, 5, 6, & 8
in the bishop’s charge. Upon survey, reflection and interview, the CR&D committee contracted the
Resource Development Designs from Cincinnati, Ohio to lead this training. The training of diocesan
consultants began in September of 1997 and will continue through April of 1998. The topics of training will
include: the roles of the consultant and the consulting process in its context; the parish as a community of
faith and the parish as a human system; helping the parish move beyond problem solving to creating its
future; effective leadership and leadership groups in the parish; decision making in the pansh; conflict in
the parish; growing the parish; and empowering the parish to care for itself.
The diocesan consultation team receiving the training is comprised of:
The Rev. Tina Velthuizen, Ms. Alisa West, The Rev. Patrick Ormos, The Very Rev. Fred Mann, The Rev.
Linda Hughes, Ms. Deborah Ottsen, Mr. David Heady, The Rev. Brian Grantz, Ms. Ann Heiligstedt, The
Rev. Henrietta Lavengood, The Rev. David Hyndman, Mr. Rich Wolf, The Rev. Dabney Smith, Ms. Dawn
Heady. This continued work in consultant training will be an asset in the life of our diocese. There were
fifteen congregation consultations (some still in progress) in 1997.
EDUCATION - The CR&D committee continued the funding of Education For Ministry which is a four
year program of theological education. This funding establishes diocesan sponsorship and thereby enables
anyone in the diocese to participate in this program at a reduced rate of tuition. Deacon Gordan Samra of
Trinity Church, Fort Wayne remains the diocesan coordinator of EFM.
We received a grant request from the Calumet deanery to enable those congregations to participate in
the Journey to Adulthood youth ministry/education program. We discovered that the cost for this grant
would be the same if we made the program available to the diocese. The Diocese of Northern Indiana now
sponsors J2A and any congregation may choose to use it without registering for an independent license.
It has been suggested that the CR&D might not be the appropriate avenue to fund educational processes.
We do not argue this, but until such time as there is a more appropriate group, we do think it helpful to make
these programs available. We do think that education is an important component in the health of a
congregation. We do think that education is an important component in the health of a congregation. It must
be further pointed out that these diocesan sponsorships are not to be understood as program endorsements
that suggest congregations should only use these and not other programs. Our desire is simply to make them
accessible to all congregations because of the many congregations that do utilize them. We recommend to
this Convention the appointment of resourceful [personnel to offer oversight and training in J2A,
Catechesis and other such programs. A network of resource people would be beneficial for awareness and
accessibility of programs.
58.
The CR&D committee hosted "The Magnetic Church Conference" in April of 1997 with author and
consultant Mr. Andrew Weeks. There were 70 participants from half of our congregations present. The
conference provided useful tools in relational, buildings and grounds, media centered, and worship
resources evangelism.
NEW STARTS - We invite your reading and digestion of the attached materials regarding the evaluation
of the former Christ Church, South Bend, and the statement for "Criteria for Church Plants and Planters."
Regarding the Christ Church property, the CR&D committee has recommended that the property be sold
with the proceeds being saved for future new church starts.
The CR&D received with regret the news that Fr. Bob Bizzarro had to resign for health reasons from the
new start work at Church of the Resurrection in Wabash. We offered to help them continue in new directions
with team leadership from CR&D but they decided to cease existence as a congregation and continue as
a fellowship group.
The CR&D received a resolution from St. Christopher's regarding their willingness to explore the
possibility of being a catalyst congregation for the formation of a new congregation in the Calumet area.
Upon further reflection and consultation with them and other Calumet congregations we think it inadvisable
at this time to attempt a new start in that part of the diocese (see again the aforementioned Criteria for Church
Plants . . .). It is our sense that our energies and resources need to be focused on the existing congregations
and put the hope for a new congregation on the diocesan "back burner."
GRANTS - The remainder of the grant request for St. John's Elkhart was used for their consultation with
Susy Miller.
Holy Trinity, South Bend received a two year grant for the purposes of door to door evangelism. Its focus
is to build upon their commitment in time, space, and people to the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. The
intent is to reach out into their multi-ethnic community by funding a half-time project coordinator for eleven
months. They hope "to provide, through the hands on work with the neighborhood) children, and the
training and modeling of the Coordinator, an opportunity for the volunteers from Holy Trinity to gain
experience in the Catechesis, and to gain experience and confidence in reaching out to the multi-ethnic
community surrounding Holy Trinity." At the time of this writing there have been 600 home contacts made.
We proposed to Diocesan Council an internal grant request to utilize the existing diocesan budget CR&D
line item and interest monies from the Forward in Faith capital campaign for the purposes of completing
the Wawasee chapel construction. We think it important to be good stewards of our diocesan properties and
believe we can do so with our existing financial resources. By doing so, we would not have to dig into any
principle from trust accounts and preserve our endowment for future generations. The Diocesan Council
proposed a resolution to accomplish the Wawasee project that removes it from the CR&D. We support the
resolution.
For future diocesan budgets, we propose the absorption of the line items for All Saints, Syracuse and St.
Peter's Rensselaer into the CR&D line item. This would lessen the diocesan budget total.
The grant request from the Calumet deanery was listed above.

THE PROJECT OF CHRIST CHURCH: A CASE STUDY OF A CHURCH PLANT
Submitted to the 1997 Diocesan Convention by the Commission on Revitalization and Development
THE DREAM - Beginning in the early 1990's, led by the vision of Bishop Gray, a strong motivation to xulfill
the Great Commission, and with the assistance of the newly formed Commission on Revitalization and
Development, the idea of planting a program-size congregation began to be nurtured. An initial list of
possible sites for planting such a church was developed. Included in that list was "southern St. Joseph
County". .
As the possibility of the site grew, there were dynamics which seemed right and good about the area:
it was growing and there were strong prospects for continued growth; a possible site for future development
could be developed; the local clergy were supportive and the proximity to the Diocesan Office and the
resources that would entail were all positives.
There was a growing desire and motivation as a Diocese to respond to the Great Commission. With
the acquisition of property in that area, obtained in part through a generous gift and through expenditures
by the Diocese, as a result of the Forward in Faith Campaign, the plant began to take shape. A search process
for a church planter was conducted and the Rev. David Ottsen, then of Oklahoma, was called to begin the
plant.
THE RESULT - From the time of its first public worship on the first Sunday of January, 1995, until it closed
on September 22, 1996, Christ Church had grown into a family-size congregation. From mid-summer 1995
until mid-summer 1996, a total of 27 members (including children) called Christ Church home. Though
there were times when Sunday attendance reached as high as 40, the growth of Christ Church had plateaued.
The Bishop met with the congregation on July 31, 1996, outlining to the congregation three options: 1) to
continue in 1997 with a half-time vicar; 2) merge with an existing congregation in the area; or 3) close, at
least by the end of 1996. The congregation was also informed by the Bishop that he had directed Fr. Ottsen,
to be open to the possibility of moving as well as initiating such conversations. On August 8, 1996, the
Bishop's Committee of Christ Church voted to close as of September 22, when the Bishop was scheduled
for his visitation.

dynamics of the Christ Church plant which were both peculiar and detrimental to the establishment of a
program-size congregation. It should be noted that in each case, these were lessons learned following the
initiation of Christ Church.
1. Secondary growth of the area. While the area round Christ Church was and is growing, much of
the growth was secondary, ie., people moving back to South Bend or moving from other parts of the city.
The effect of this kind of growth is that people had already established church ties.
2. Smaller percentage of unchurched. Demographic studies indicated a percentage of 30-35% of
the population was unchurched. From the door-to-door ministry of the vicar (1,200+ calls) and a phone
campaign (6,000+ contacts) the reality of a much lower percentage of unchurched was discovered. Why
the discrepancy? Demographics done in advance of the plant used a pin drop near where property was
eventually purchased, of a five-mile radius. That radius includes portions of inner city South Bend. Because
Christ Church was never envisioned as an inner city plant and certainly from its location could not be, access
to that area was especially limited and when coupled with the lower-than-average of unchurched
immediately surrounding the property, the ability of the plant reaching high concentrations of unchurched
was compromised.
3. Unfamiliarity of the church planter with the area. This is not a condemnation of Fr. Ottsen's
talents or gifts of ministry. It was subsequently learned that the church planter, if there is only one planter,
needs to have a working knowledge of the area. This had to do with understanding the rhythm of life, the
language of the area and the needs and how bet to respond to those needs with the primary group being
evangelized. Fr. Ottsen had never lived in Indiana, let alone South Bend. With the exception of some
exceptional people, a planter should not be learning and adjusting to the area and at the same time, be
planting the new congregation.
4. Resource limitations. These fall into two primary categories: physical facilities and contingency
financial plans. While the purchase of property at the time, seemed like the right and good decision to make,
it turned out, in this case, to have placed limitations on Christ Church. Only after the plant began was it
learned that church worship in the South Bend Public School System was not allowed. Physical facilities
in the southern area of the city were limited and because resources were needed to maintain the property
other alternatives could not be pursued with the same vigor that might have occurred had the property been
purchased later. As a result, Christ Church used three different places for worship over the span of its life.
Secondly, the presumption of growth in was consistent with the model for the growth of a program-size
congregation. Plans were not sufficiently developed in advance for growth on a more modest scale. When
growth occurred on that more modest scale, it then placed an undue strain on the resources available.
KEY DEFICIENCIES TO GROWTH - In addition to the above barriers, there were also some key
deficiencies in the plant which placed limitations upon the development of Christ Church.
1. Lack of strong effective lay leadership. This is not to say there were no leaders or those of potential
leadership capability, among the members of Christ Church, there certainly were. However, Christ Church
needed strong effective lay leadership in the development phase of its inception. Acquaintance with small
group dynamics and development, evangelism and church planting in general were areas in which lay
leadership was not strong enough and as such detracted from the ability of Christ Church to develop as
dreamed.
2. Lack of additional support and strengthening for the church planter. While Fr. Ottsen certainly
had the enthusiasm, energy and commitment needed in church planting there were ways in which he could
have been better supported and strengthened in that ministry. Specifically, some secondary personnel who
themselves could have been involved with him. They may have mitigated his lack of knowledge of the area
and certainly could have assumed certain aspects of the plant, adding to the overall impact and probability
for success. Second, assessment programs and church planting training could have been utilized. It is
possible, that someone else other than Fr. Ottsen may have emerged from such processes. At the least, the
Diocese would have had a better understanding of his strengths and weaknesses and then been able to
respond and adjust accordingly.
3. Compromising of the model. The model of development, from small or cell groups into the larger
congregation built upon door-to-door and phone contact evangelism, given the barriers and deficiencies,
was compromised. Though efforts were made to adjust to those realities, they were unable to overcome the
existing and substantial limitations to growing into a program-size congregation.
61.
THE POSITIVES OF THE CHRIST CHURCH EXPERIENCE - From the above it might appear, that all
was failure and nothing accomplished. Nothing could be further from the truth. A congregation was birthed,
a community formed, the Gospel proclaimed, lives changed and the pastoral care of people in need occurred.
1. The advancement of the Gospel did occur. Accordingly to Fr. Ottsen, about a dozen people were
brought to Christ or re-entered a church as a result of contacts made. These twelve people, however, chose
to live into the expression of that new or renewed life of faith in a church other than Christ Church. We note
that evangelism while clearly and certainly connected with parish growth is not synonymous with it.
2. Worship that was alive with the Holy Spirit. From its members, other Episcopalians who
attended Christ Church and even some who attended but never became members remarked how alive with
the presence of the Holy Spirit was the worship at Christ Church. This is to say, lives and hearts were clearly
touched.
3. A family-size congregation was planted. While the vision for Christ Church was for a program-
size congregation and that was not attained, a family-size congregation did develop. We must note, that
starting from no members to reach such a size, compared to some existing congregations in this Diocese,
can be understood to be a success.
4. A community of faith was formed. We note that because of the presence and activity of small
groups and outreach projects, Christ Church had an intensity of community.
5. Our Diocese was enriched. Almost all of the members of Christ Church have found their way into
other Episcopal congregations. Their experiences are enriching the continuing lives of those congregations
as well as our Diocese. In addition, those from existing congregations who helped Christ Church during
its life, were themselves nurtured and encouraged in their faith journeys.
LESSONS LEARNED - The Commission on Revitalization and Development has responded to the Christ
Church experience in the following ways:
1. Development of Criteria for Church Plants and Planters. This document (presented as
Appendix A) displays much of what we have learned and our hope is that it will provide a plan for any future
church plantings in our Diocese.
2. Continue towards the expansion of the Gospel of Christ. With every risk taken and step of faith
made, there are lives and hearts that are transformed regardless of whether our standards and vision have
been attained. Christ Church did not succeed as we envisioned. Yet, to say that our efforts were for nought
would be to deny relationships with Jesus Christ were begun, renewed, or strengthened by that work. This
should not diminish nor limit our creativity and response to the guidance of the Holy Spirit as we can
understand at any given time.
3. Greater development of our vision. There was much we did not know prior to Christ Church,
which we learned only through the planting process. We believe we are called as a Diocese to continue to
incarnate the vision to which God calls us. In the future, we need to work out in greater detail the dynamics,
effects, potential problems in church planting, yet recognizing that each plant is unique there will be more
to leam. We pray that what we have learned will result in a stronger faith in this part of God's Kingdom.
EPILOGUE - Though Christ Church as an entity has ceased to exist, the Diocese is reaping the benefits of
that plant. Most notably is St. Paul's in Mishawaka, where many former members of Christ Church have
become members. In addition, Fr. Ottsen was available to become rector of St. Paul s. The blending of those
two communities, coupled with the hard work of the people from St. Paul s have revitalized that
congregation. Significant in that revitalization is the increase of the rector's position to full-time and full-
pay — based on Diocesan standards of compensation. Furthermore, other Episcopal churches in the area
have also incorporated former members of Christ Church to the benefit of us all.
APPENDIX A
The Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana Criteria for Church Plants and Planters
CRITERIA - There are two categories of criteria. The first is termed "Necessary" and are those dynamics
we believe are fundamental non-negotiable items necessary for a successful church plant and its subsequent
development. The second is termed "Recommended" which are those items we believe are involved but
subject to adjustments based on the model and situation of the plant and talents of the planter(s).
62.
I. Necessary
A. Where appropriate, a team of planters is needed.
While it may not always be feasible or necessary given differing models of church planting, when the
plant envisioned is at least program-size a team of planters is seen as necessary. Within this team, there may
or may not be clergy depending upon other additional factors, though provision for the sacramental ministry
of the church is vital.
B. Working knowledge by the planter(s) of the area in which the plant is to occur.
The Church Planter needs or in a team approach, several planters need to be knowledgeable about the
area, in terms of: 1) the needs and concerns of the sub-culture, 2) the "lingo" of the area; 3) the network of
professionals available for pastoral care; and 4) seasonal rhythms and life-style patterns prevalent in the
area. The criteria used to determine such knowledge include:
1 . being raised in the area
2. having lived in the area for a significant portion of their life
3. having lived in the area for at least the preceding three years
C. A five year commitment and whatever resources so involved be made for the plant
While there are some exceptions, most small businesses require several years to be nurtured from birth
to toddler stage. One dynamic of a plant is that it involves time. Since the overwhelming percentage of
church growth occurs through word-of-mouth, it needs time to develop. As a diocese we must make a five-
year commitment to the birth and initial nurturing of a church plant. It is understood that adjustments must
occur as growth occurs in order to avoid the development of co-dependency, yet those adjustments must
always and only occur in response to what already exists.
D. The primary planter and spouse, if applicable, will participate in two key training programs.
In order to provide suitable training in church planting the planter must. participate, and with spouse,
if that is applicable, in both an Assessment Center for Church Planters and a Boot Camp Program, prior to
the beginning of the plant. These programs will help the person understand their strengths and weaknesses
specifically in terms of church planting and will also raise necessary issues to address. The diocese and
planter will review the results of these programs and proceeds as appropriate.
E. Stated vision for growth goals: financial and numerical.
It is our expectation that a written business plan with well-defined goals, both numerical and financial,
set within time parameters will be established as preparation to the plant. The plan will be developed in light
of the size of the plant envisioned. Furthermore, it is our expectation that the new congregation will assume
a greater share of the financial responsibilities as growth occurs.
F. Involvement and commitment of the specific Deanery.
No matter the kind of plant, the Deanery's involvement and commitment is a vital and necessary
component. The larger the goals for the plant will mean more involvement and commitment. The Deanery's
participation must include mutual ministries and financial support. Once again, creative responses to what
is needed for any given plant should be encouraged.
G. Buildings and grounds decisions occur following the initiating of the plant
While it is extremely important to develop contacts, strategies, availability studies and building site
ideas, no action should occur until such time that it matches the development of the plant itself. This should
lessen the probability of the over- or under-procuring of resources. When action must be taken in advance
of the plant. CR&D is to be actively involved.
H. Seed group for Pastoral-size and above plants.
This seed or core group for this size of plant are to be leaders who are willing to commit to the plant
for a minimum of 1 8 months. This group is to receive instruction in New Starts, spiritual gift assessment
and lay the foundation for pastoral care in the new congregation. This work should begin prior to the hiring
of the plant team, provided that it is clear there be an option time to continue or conclude upon that hiring.
63.
I. Leadership training.
Important not merely to the birth of the plant, but for its growth in the early years of development are
knowledgeable and trained leaders involved in the plant. This should bring the latest information to all
concerned from an Episcopal perspective and thus provide the necessary base for the proper nurturing for
the successful development of the plant and the Diocese, and even more growing the Kingdom of God.
II. Recommended
A. Establish a link with NAMS (North American Missionary Society).
NAMS is both a resource for and a network of church planters. Connecting with NAMS, especially
for plants whose goal is program size will be extremely beneficial both for the development of the plant and
for the planter. Through NAMS a "Church Plant Coach" should be arranged for the planter(s) who will be
a further voice of direction and support. The costs of using NAMS would be included in the five-year
development plan.
B. An Advisory Committee established for the planter(s).
For plants larger than home groups, beyond the Bishop and the CR&D Committee as a whole, we
recommend an Advisory Committee. This committee should be charged with the following tasks.
1 . Pastoral care for the planter(s)
2. Serve as liaison with the Bishop and CR&D
The composition of this committee would be small in number and include persons who themselves
have been involved in new start work (regardless of the size of the plant).

THE FOUNDATION OF THE DIOCESE OF NORTHERN INDIANA
Prepared by the Reverend Robert L. Fitzpatrick
During the fiscal year of the Foundation of the Diocese of Northern Indiana, Inc., August 1, 1996 to
July 31,1 997, there were two grants and no loans made. A grant for $1 ,500 to St. Paul s Church, Mishawaka,
and a grant for $2,059 to Episcopal Community Services. Both of these were made from the General
Foundation Fund. No grants or loans were made from the Congregation Revitalization Fund, the New
Congregation Fund, or the Outreach Fund.
The General Foundation Fund is the original fund that made up the extent of the Foundation before
the "Forward in Faith" campaign. No new monies are entering this Fund from the "Forward in Faith"
campaign. New monies do occasionally come into this Fund from bequests and other gifts. As of July 31,
1997, it contained $1 17,099. This Fund is administered totally by the Foundation Board with grants made
from the previous year's income and loans made from up to 51% of the Funds principal. Loans and grants
are made to congregations and ministries of the diocese for the furtherance of their mission. Loans are made
with a set interest rate of the prime interest rate plus one percent of the bank of record of the Foundation
on the business day before the meeting wherein a loan is approved.
The Congregation Revitalization Fund is fiscally administered by the Foundation. All grants and
loans must be approved by the congregation Revitalization and Development Committee. As of July 31,
1997, it contained $274,003. It was created and continues to be funded by the "Forward in Faith" campaign.
Grants are made from the previous year's income and loans made from up to 51% of the Fund's principal.
Loans and grants are made to congregations and ministries of the diocese for the furtherance of their mission
and in accordance with the mission priorities of the diocese as determined by the Congregation Revitaliza¬
tion and Development Committee. Loans are made with a set interest rate of the prime interest rate plus one
percent of the bank of record of the Foundation on the business day before the meeting wherein a loan is
approved.
The New Congregations Fund is fiscally administered by the Foundation. As of July 31, 1997, it
contained $128,202. It was created and continues to be funded by the "Forward in Faith" campaign. Grants
can be made from interest and principal as directed by the Congregation Revitalization and Development
Committee and the Bishop.
The Outreach Fund is fiscally administered by the Foundation. As of July 31, 1997, it contained
$83,067. It was created and continues to be funded by the "Forward in Faith" campaign. Grants can be made
from the interest income from the previous year as approved by the Social Outreach and Economic Justice
Committee.
All of the funds noted above are invested in the diocesan pooled income account. An individual 5%
of the total Foundation funds ($42,282) apportioned appropriately for each individual Fund are invested
in the diocesan capital growth account.
Allocations to the Congregation Revitalization Fund, New Congregations Fund and Outreach
Fund are made quarterly from the receipts of the "Forward in Faith" campaign and are allocated based on
the monies received with 38.33% to Congregation Revitalization, 33.33% to New Congregations and
1 1 .67% to Outreach. (Another 16.67% is allocated to Diocesan endowment and has nothing to do with the
Foundation).

The Commission on Ministry has been meeting regularly on the third Saturday of each month.
66.
Because of the year's moratorium that was in place for the discernment and ordination process, we have not
conducted any interviews this past year. The proposed revised ordination process was presented to the
clergy at a meeting in February, with very favorable comments, and a few proposed changes, which have
been incorporated. There are still a few "loose ends" that are being worked on. There are currently four
persons going through the process but none have reached the point where they are to come before the
Commission on Ministry.
Approximately $4,700.00 was given out for continuing education grants funded by the Forward in
Faith campaign.
The Commission on Ministry requested that the bishop appoint a task force to design a study program
for deacons. This committee is now in place.
The Commission on Ministry will have a joint meeting with the Standing committee in November.
Items to be discussed include a Standing Board of Examining Chaplains for early ordination to the
transitional diaconate, and suggestions for the implementation of Canon IX.
In the coming year the Commission on Ministry will be evaluating the first year with the revised
ordination process and will be continuing to discuss the implementation of Canon IX and any other concerns
that may come out of the joint meeting with the Standing Committee and the meetings with Suzy Miller,
as they may pertain to the Commission on Ministry.

When you read this report, our new kitchen, long in the planning and fund-raising stages, should be
I up and running at last. Installation was scheduled for early October, in hopes that all renovations could be
completed before cold weather was upon us. Support for this project was generous and broad based, far too
broad to be acknowledged here. A final report is to be prepared and will be available upon request.
St. Margaret's House continues to offer a number of programs and discussion groups on topics of
| interest to our guests. Students from Notre Dame University and St. Mary's College have provided some
leadership for these. Last spring Sister Rita Cammack, a Notre Dame graduate student, concluded a popular
Life Skills Development series. This fall, a Wellness group, conducted by Sister Patricia Belting from The
Healing Arts Center, will deal with issues such as stress reduction, anger management and other health
issues. Sara O'Malley, a Master of Divinity student, is leading a spiritual reflection group.
Lynn Bradford of S.O.S. (Sex Offenses Services) continues a weekly support group for those who
! have experienced sexual abuse. Senior nursing students from St. Mary's College are available several times
! each semester to answer questions or make presentations on health-related issues. Also, periodic retreats
have been held at Mary’s Solitude at St. Mary's College for both guests and volunteers.
In 1996, the National Church designated St. Margaret's House as a Jubilee Center. In June 1997,
Director Kathy Schneider attended the National Gathering of Bread for the World. Her attendance was
sponsored jointly by Jubilee Ministries and the Diocese of Northern Indiana. In September, Board member
Margaret Kenney attended a Jubilee Ministry training meeting, also in Washington, D.C.
A new computer, funded through the community Services Block Grant program has enhanced our
office area. We are all in the process of discovering its many capabilities. The CSBG is also funding a second
computer, in order that we may establish a learning center for our guests. Many are already participating
in various training programs and should benefit from additional opportunity to practice.
Kathy Schneider speaks for all of us as follows: "When we sit down at the table to share a meal, all
those who support us with their interest, their prayers and their donations sit with us." We hope that many
of you will be able to visit St. Margaret's House in the coming year to see what you are helping us to
accomplish.

EPISCOPAL COMMUNITY SERVICES, INC.
Report to Diocesan Convention, 1997
1997 has been a critically important year to Episcopal Community Services, Inc. Most of the old
services have been continued while new programs focused more on intervention that on hand-outs are being
undertaken. Important changes are taking place at the Board level with the addition of more lay people and
new volunteers are coming in from the immediate neighborhood to help with the ministries of ECS. The
decision-making base on policy and programs of ECS has been broadened. Children and youth are being
served on an on-going basis, and new ministries of intervention and advocacy are being explored. More
Episcopalians have been involved in ministry in the inner-city of Gary than at any time since before the
closing of Christ Church, with increased support from Episcopal parishes. Significantly, support from the
Diocese and from local congregations outside the Calumet has also increased, making ECS a diocesan
ministry not just a ministry of the churches of the Calumet deanery. And during this year increased
accountability has been developed within ECS. We are looking forward in the remainder of '97 and '98 to
initiating programs for which significant funding from outside the diocese and local congregations will be
sought.
Crisis Ministry (Information/Referral, Advocacy Services and Grunt Ministries)
ECS has always dealt with persons in crisis, providing whatever services it could to help them through
the crisis and to a better day. During the past year, ECS has developed its own manuals for doing this crisis
intervention work: we have ceased trying to be a one-stop center for such persons as we recognize the need
to utilize the space in this wonderful old home for neighborhood programs and not for storage of furniture
and clothing which can be gotten elsewhere. Much more of ECS's crisis ministry work is done on the
telephone helping people in need to obtain the services they need without their having to come to the ECS
building just to obtain effective referral and advocacy. People in crisis frequently require a lot of
encouragement to pursue long-lasting solutions to their programs in part because such solutions are difficult
to obtain and many of those in need get discouraged when the desired solution can not be achieved quickly.
If we can not provide the type of help the individual caller is seeking, we seek to put the caller in
communication with someone who can. How are we doing with this? A recent letter of thanks from the
University Police at IUN said in part, "We had tried all the other agencies and shelters we could find and
none of them could help. When we called you, you were like a beacon in the night." And, yes, we sometimes
go out in the middle of the night to help someone in an emergency situation. Our phone is answered 24-
hours a day and all calls are returned.
Food Ministry. The food pantry is now run entirely by Episcopalians due in large measure to our efforts
to increase both internal and external accountability. Most of the old regulars continue to receive assistance
and many new ones have come in for help. Because Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago have a temporary
waiver on cut-offs in food stamps, the full impact of the cuts in Welfare Reform have not been felt in this
area as yet. The local newspaper reports that when the waiver is lifted, 48,000 people in this area will lose
their entitlement to Food Stamps. In anticipation of this increasing need for food, ECS is preparing to
increase its capacity to store and redistribute food. Volunteers in this ministry have streamlined ECS s
procedures for food distribution and have developed increased accountability in this program. Other
changes in ECS's Food Ministry have involved us in preparing and serving hot lunches to children and youth
participating in our programs and there is talk of having ECS become more involved in providing
congregant meals to street people, senior citizens, and other special groups.
Children and Youth. Last school year, a small after school program was launched at ECS for elementary
school children. It was largely one of helping kids with homework and providing tutoring in trouble areas
to those needing it. During the summer, ECS conducted a Summer Arts Program in July and August for four
hours daily. The program involved kids from the immediate neighborhood. With help from the churches,
twenty-seven kids were enrolled in this program -- thanks be to God the highest daily attendance except
on field trips was twenty-one. The Summer Program put us much more in touch with our immediate
neighbors and attracted new volunteers from the neighborhood to help with the program. The After School
Program will again be conducted after first report cards come out, and planning will be undertaken for next
year's Summer Program. Other programs for children and youth are being envisioned which will provide
a safe environment where they can be kids in this city where they have to be street-smart too soon and too
often. Some of this work will be gang intervention, if we can obtain the necessary funding.
The Future. ECS has a dual thrust: to help people in need and to provide opportunity for others to expand
70.
episcopal ministries more faithfully following our baptismal covenant. The people in need may be in
poverty, oppressed or in some particular crisis. One month we provided food for a woman and her two
children; two months later she provided the funds for two month's mortgage payments at ECS, her
momentary crisis being over. In 1997 ECS received support from local churches in the Calumet, the
Diocesan Foundation (for Codes Compliance), the Diocese (for mortgage retirement), individual Episco¬
palians, a number of parish priests utilizing discretionary funds, and from one priest who made a monthly
donation from his personal funds. A grant was received by St. Barnabas in the Dunes from a private
foundation to underwrite the Summer Program. ECS still has no paid staff. Our ability to address needs and
issues in contingent upon the services of volunteers and availability of funds. A diocesan plan adopted by
the affected churches will eliminate the need to make mortgage payments on the present building. But ECS
will always need financial support of the churches and of the Diocese itself if it is to be an on-going ministry
of the Episcopal Church. The continuation of this ministry is directly tied to the generosity and commitment
of Episcopalians to carry out the kinds of ministries Jesus did and which he taught his followers to do. We
seek your help in expanding Episcopal ministries to people in this region.
The sign on the entrance of ECS reads in part: "If you need help from a friend and your friends are
unable to help, we hope you will find in us a friend who is able, even Christ our Lord."

THE CATECHESIS OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD
In the fall of 1993 , we began to offer training in the diocese for persons to learn to work with
children in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Over the 1993 - 1994 and 1994-1995 academic years, one
hundred twenty hours of class instruction were offered to train persons to work with three to six-year olds.
During the 1995 - 1996 and 1996 - 1997 another one hundred twenty hours of class instruction were offered
to train persons to work with six to nine-year olds. This last course concluded in May 1997.
These training courses have been held at Trinity Church. During the last course, twenty-six persons
participated. In each of the four courses a number of roman catholic catechists have attended. The national
meeting of the Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (USA) was held at Trinity in October
1997.
An international retreat for catechists was held in September 1997 in Assisi, Italy. Clifford King
Harbin of Saint Andrew's Church, Kokomo, was able to attend. One of the co-leaders of the retreat was the
Right Reverend Frank Griswold, bishop of Chicago and presiding bishop-elect of the Episcopal Church.
Presently, a majority of the members of the board of the National Association for the Catechesis of the Good
Shepherd (USA) are Episcopalians.
Each participant in the course here pays a tuition of $225.00 for the year. Twenty-five dollars of this
fee is paid to the national association. The balance is used to cover the cost of providing a national trainer
for each session. The lecture fee for the trainer is $250.00 to $300.00. During the 1996 - 1997 course year,
nine of ten trainers must be flown in for the course. One of our trainers comes from Mexico (and her travel
is by no means the highest cost). The 1997 diocesan budget contributed $1,250 to this ministry. This along
with contributions from Trinity, helps to enable us to offer the course at approximately half the cost of
national courses.
We are planning to offer training for catechist to work with nine to twelve-year olds beginning in
September 1998.

REPORT OF THE EPISCOPATE RELATIONS COMMITTEE
Howe Military School - November 7 and 8, 1997
Because of the good work done in previous years by the Episcopate Relations Committee, there was
not a great deal to be done this year on the matter of the Bishop's compensation. The Committee
recommended appropriate cost of loving and other adjustments to several lines in the Bishop's compensa¬
tion section of the Diocesan budget FY 1998. These are reflected in the Budget to be presented to the
Convention. We met with the Bishop and Mrs. Gray to discuss these and some other matters, enjoying
greatly their hospitality.
We are grateful for the good support of the Diocese in helping to provide an opportunity for the Bishop
to make a sabbatical trip to follow in the path of Saint Paul's missionary journey. This trip has been
postponed to the spring of 1998. We pray the Bishop and Mrs. Gray Godspeed in this pilgrimage. We are
glad that they were able to enjoy some time of leave and re-creation in the early months of this year,
interspersed with trips and meetings for the national Church and the Companion Relationship we enjoy with
72.
the Diocese of Honduras.
We have sought to be supportive of the Bishop and his family, encouraging them, and remembering
occasions of family celebration and observance. We congratulate them on the birth of their first grandchild.
We give thanks to God for the good work of Bishop Frank Gray and Karen Gray on behalf of our
Diocese. Their devotion, commitment, diligence, encouragement, and support honors our Lord Jesus
Christ, and is a benefit to His holy Church.
Our committee numbered two this past year because of two resignations. We would like to
recommend that there be canonical provision for filling unexpired terms.
Faithfully submitted,
Mrs. Deborah Ottsen
The Rev'd Henry G. Randolph, Jr.
COMPANEROS EN CRISTO
The Committee for the Companion Relationship with the Diocese of Honduras
The members of our committee are as follows: Bishop Gray, ex officio; Arlyne Jacobsen (St. Paul's,
Munster), Chair; Charles Hensel (St. Timothy's, Griffith), Kristine Graunke (St. Andrew's, Valparaiso),
Ted Neidlinger (St. Andrew's, Kokomo), Karen Gray (Cathedral), Nancy Seger (St. Paul's, Mishawaka),
Julie Barth (St. John's, Bristol), Marilyn Benedict (St. Thomas', Plymouth), John Schramm (St. Thomas',
Plymouth), Duane and Carolyn Gunde (St. John's, Bristol), Tim Skimina (St. Timothy's, Griffith), Aleta
Watton (St. Andrew's, Kokomo), Russel Kitchner (Cathedral). Some of these persons are more active than
others; there are no fixed term limits.
The companion relationship committee was authorized at the last diocesan convention and the
following mission statement was adopted at the March 1, 1997 meeting: Companeros en Cristo is both the
name of the mission and the name of the committee of the Diocese of Northern Indiana whose goal is to
deepen relationships between the people and parishes of the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana and
the people and parishes of the Episcopal Diocese of Honduras. We, members of the committee, are those
whose hearts the Lord has touched with the importance of looking beyond our own needs to the wider
mission of the Church in bringing men and women to faith in Christ and caring for their other needs in His
Name. We believe that as our horizons are extended to embrace the Christian mission in a foreign culture,
we will also be awakened to the opportunities for mission close at hand. We believe that the Diocese of
Honduras, through its vitality and commitment to ministry, will in turn nurture and inspire us as we seek
to be creative, resourceful, and responsive in our own ministries.
The task of the committee is three-fold; to pray, inform, and facilitate. It aims to encourage regular
prayer for the people and parishes of the diocese of Honduras. It aims to inform the parishes of Northern
Indiana about the life and ministries of the diocese of Honduras. It also aims to facilitate the involvement
of those who respond in the life of their sister diocese, both Northern Indiana in Honduras and Honduras
in that of Northern Indiana. This it will foster by enabling personal contacts through visits and other kinds
of communications, and by offering opportunities for those in Northern Indiana to be involved in ongoing
projects in Honduras.
Our main goal now is to disseminate to the whole diocese the results of the visit of members of
companion team to Honduras in January of 1997. To that end, a good quality brochure has been made
available and a significant portion of budget money was spent on it - and many hours of volunteer time.
Members of the committee have also gone out to speak to parishes as requested. Articles have appeared in
the BEACON. We have already sponsored the visit of a Honduran woman, who is the Secretary at the home
for girls run by the Church in San Pedro Sula. She has spent time in several different churches in our diocese.
We have also sponsored and helped to pay for the costs of the visit of three Honduran young people to our
Diocese in the summer of 1 997.
The diocese allocated to our use for this year $5,000. We have spent some of it and will be spending
the rest in the following fashion:
$750 - plane fare for visit of Sonia Villaneuva from Nuestras Pequenas Rosas.
$1,400 - plane fare for visit of young people from Honduras in the summer of 1997.
73.
$1,500 - production costs for a brochure explaining the work of the committee and opportunities for
mission work in association with Honduras.
$1,000 - travel subsidy for those who will travel from Northern Indiana to Honduras.
$350 - miscellaneous, including customs fees for shipping and committee expenses, such as mailings,
postage, etc.
Plans for the future include a constantly up-dated list of involvement opportunities and mission
projects, which are suitable for a wide range of abilities. The most expensive is probably building a church
in Honduras (and two of these are committed to: one by the diocese in the form of a chapel for the conference
center in Muchilena, which is now completed; the other is a parish church for the people of el Cerron by
St. Thomas - nearing the end of construction) and the least dependent on money is the collection of clothes
and other needed items that can be shipped. The committee itself will have to bear the costs of shipping and
getting things through customs. There are plans for mutual involvement in educational institutions (some
contacts have already been made), continued involvement with the girls' home (one of St. Thomas teens
spent a month there this summer as a house-mother), continued involvement with the South American
Missionary Society (which works in Honduras), as well as a full range of educational efforts to fully inform
our people about their companion diocese. The actual travel of people from one diocese to the other is a very
important part of the relationship. It is expensive to travel back and forth to Honduras and it seems unfair
to ask individuals who are doing diocesan work to bear all their own costs (which is what happened for the
first visit in January). The reality of the relationship depends on acquaintance, and that is fostered only by
visiting. We believe that the quality and perhaps the quantity of mission engagement depends on those
personal relationships, which makes the spending of travel money a very worthwhile investment. There are
also many possibilities for sister parish relationships.
The 1998 budgeted amount of $5,500 will be spent according to this tentative budget:
$1,000 - video (or updated brochure)
$2,000 - travel subsidies from Northern Indiana to Honduras
$1,500 - travel for visitors to Northern Indiana from Honduras
$500 - miscellaneous: shipping of materials to Honduras, mail, telephone and fax, printing
$500 - contingencies (especially extra travel costs, depending on the traffic)

THE BISHOP’S AD HOC COMMITTEE ON ETHICS IN MINISTRY
Chair: The Rev. Megan Traquair; Members: Canon David Seger, Dr. Brown, Mr. David M. Wright,
The Rev. Michael Haas.
The Ethics Committee originally developed the Ethical Guidelines adopted by the Diocese of
Northern Indiana for the prevention and intervention of sexual abuse and harassment. We have provided
ongoing trainings this year of 1997 for new employees, leaders and volunteers. The training is not only
required by our Guidelines, but it also provides individuals with information about behavior, risks,
recognition and appropriate boundaries in this area. Our most recent trainings, both taking place at St.
Thomas in Plymouth, included individuals involved in our Church Adventure Camp in August; and those
in church ministry or new work positions in September.
The ongoing trainings offer a great strength to our Diocese. It is an ongoing "investment in our
congregations. Most of those who attend now, are our baptized leaders, not just our ordained leaders. Year
after year as new leaders rotate into positions that need this training, an increasing percentage of our
congregations will have a working knowledge of what is appropriate behavior and how to configure both
our physical location and our specific ministries to best protect our parish members.
There will be a three hour renewal training offered, and required for all individuals who were trained
two years ago at the Madison Center. It will take place this spring.
Gladly, some portions of the Committee have remained inactive: the Pastoral Response team, and the
Investigative Response team. These teams would become engaged in the ecclesiastical investigation and
the pastoral care given to the accuser, the accused and the congregation or group involved.
The ongoing commitment of our Diocese to grapple with this difficult issue, and to go through the
74.
inconvenience of background and reference checks, and training dates, represents what our baptismal vow
to "Respect the dignity of every human being." (BCP 305) looks like when it is consciously practiced.
Respectfully submitted,
The Rev. Megan Traquair, Chair
EPISCOPAL AIDS MINISTRY
Provides spiritual consolation and information for resources available to people who have HIV/AIDS
and their families and to those needing locations of testing places. This is a very worthwhile program
because it gives people a place to call, anonymously, where they can ask any questions freely.
I also work with other AIDS organizations where needed.
For the past three years, there has been a program for World AIDS Day, December first, at the
Northern Indiana Arts Center for the seventh-graders of various schools in this area. We will be doing the
program again this year.
However, because of the deterioration of my husband's health, I will be unable to continue as the chair
of the diocese. I dearly hope that someone will come forward to do this work.
Faithfully,
Gloria Taylor

YOUTH PROGRAM MISSION
To Disciple youth. To minister Christ's love to young people. To provide Diocesan support and
resources for youth in grades 7-12 and their adult leaders. To provide social events in a Christian atmosphere
and spiritual growth opportunities for youth from parishes without youth programs. To provide summer
church camping experiences for children and youth. To provide spiritual retreats, such as New Beginnings,
Happenings, and other Jr. High/Senior High retreats. To provide youth leadership training for adults and
youth who work with the youth programs and Christian formation in their parishes.
CHRIST'S MISSION THROUGH YOUTH MINISTRY
"A child shall lead them . . ." Youth can be the most exuberant of all parishioners. They are our future
and our NOW! If we neglect to meet the particular needs of our young people, our walls will not hold them.
Youth breathe life into any parish and they breathe life into our worship. In youth ministry we are forming
Christian leaders for the present and the decades to come. As individuals, parishes and a diocese we must
be more committed, through personal involvement and financial giving, to the support of youth ministry.
PARISH INVOLVEMENT IN THE DIOCESE YOUTH PROGRAM
The Diocesan youth progra is meant to be a resource to aft our parishes. It is not meant to detract from
the local parish youth ministry - or to be 'just one more thing' for our kids to do. The program intends to
enhance what parishes are already doing for their youth or to fill needs of churches with limited resources.
Many parishes are already involved in the Diocesan Y outh Program. Some are not yet involved for
various reasons. The most often stated reason being lack of youth in the individual parish. We hope to solve
that problem by providing training seminars and workshops in effective youth ministry and how to draw
youth to your parish. We also want to recruit YALT members from as many parishes as possible, in hopes
that through leadership training, they will attract more youth into their individual parishes.
But, if your parish can not support it's own youth ministry yet, the diocese provides quality events in
which your youth can participate. Take advantage of Exuberance Youth Ministries! Please, support our
efforts with your financial and personal involvement,

LONG RANGE HOPES AND PLANS
That this youth program will serve all parishes in Northern Indiana. That the Episcopal youth of
Northern Indiana will develop a reputation for knowing and loving Christ and being Chnst-like in their love
and service to others. That our youth will be active, working members of our parishes. That our youth will
have the opportunity for voice and vote at our Diocesan Convention. That every parish will have its own
growing youth ministry. That our youth will understand what it means to be an Episcopalian and a Christian
and will find fun and joy and fulfillment in the formation process.

RESOLUTIONS
RESOLUTION #1
(Passed)
Presented by the Committee on Congregation Revitalization and Development. Jointly sponsored by:
Saint Alban, Fort Wayne; Saint Paul, Gas City; Saint Paul, Munster; Cathedral Church of Saint James,
South Bend; Saint Andrew, Kokomo.
Encourage Evangelism and Renewal
RESOLVED, that the ninety-ninth Annual Convention of the Diocese of Northern Indiana, during
the second half of the Decade of Evangelism, encourage all of its constituent congregations to give serious
consideration to the many renewal activities available to them, including but not limited to:
-organizing a Catechumenal Process;
-having a Faith Alive Weekend;
-having local programs sponsored by organizations such as Episcopal Renewal Ministries, Institute
for Christian Renewal, Renewal in Christ Ministries;
-encouraging adult members to hold an Alpha Course or attend Cursillo weekends;
-encouraging youth to attend Happening and New Beginnings weekends;
-establishing a Daughters of the King chapter;
-establishing a Brotherhood of Saint Andrew chapter;
-establishing an Order of Saint Luke the Physician chapter; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Committee on Congregation Revitalization and Develop¬
ment of the Diocese of Northern Indiana gather information about these and other renewal activities to
distribute this information to the congregations in the diocese for their consideration; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Committee on Congregation Revitalization and Develop¬
ment investigate ways by which congregations could be financially assisted if they desire to participate in
any of these activities.
Explanation
Evangelism has been described by the Episcopal Church as being the presentation of Jesus Christ, in
the power of the Holy Spirit, in such ways that persons may be led to believe in Him as Savior and follow
Him as Lord within the fellowship of His Church.
This presentation is done more effectively by people who have the opportunity to continually renew
their faith and deepen their commitment to Jesus. Activities, like those mentioned in this resolution,
generally attempt to lead persons to a deeper understanding of and renewal of their baptismal vows, and
enable them to share their spiritual journey with others.

Sec. 5 [Former Sec. 3J. At its first meeting each year the council shall elect one of its members to

Sec. 10 [Former Sec. 8], Lay members of Diocesan Council during their term of office shall have seat
and voice in the Convention.
Explanation
Section 2: The most substantive change in Canon 3 is found in Section 2. Since the canons were
revised in 1993, it has become apparent that the powers of the Council need to be clarified and expanded
so that it can act, when necessary, as the legal agent of the diocese. This is provided for in Section 2.
Section 1: Provides for the Treasurer and Secretary of the Diocese, who are officers of the Diocese,
to be members of the Council. The addition of the Secretary of the Diocese as a voting member of the
Council eliminates the need for the last sentence in Section 5. Since no other special groups in the diocese
have seat and voice on the Council it is inconsistent to provide this for the Episcopal Church Women.
Section 3 : Is intended to serve as a check on the activities of the Council so that it is balanced by the
authority and responsibility of the Ecclesiastical Authority.
Section 4: Requires the Council to give prior notice and to account to the clergy and laity throughout
the diocese concerning its actions.
Section 5: See explanation above concerning Section 1.
Section 6. 7. 8. and 10 i.e. former Sections 4. 5. 6. and 8: Unchanged except for renumbering.
Section 9: Clarifies that only clergy and elected lay delegates to the annual Convention are eligible
to vote for representatives to the Diocesan Council.
AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION #2
Resolution #2 to amend Canon 3
Sec. 8: b. If a member is not able to complete a term of office on the Council, the deanery from which
that member was elected shall meet as soon as possible to elect a successor who shall serve the unexpired
term. The dean of said deanery shall give written notice of the time and place of the meeting no less than
ten (10) days prior to the meeting. The Dean or a designee shall preside at this meeting.
i. In the event of a Diocesan Council meeting prior to the election of a successor,
the Dean may appoint a delegate to that meeting only. That person is eligible
for election as the successor representative.
ii. If the unexpired term is one-half of the full term of office as provided in Section
7 (or Section 5) or more than one-half of the full term, that term will be
considered one full term when determining eligibility for re-election.
Explanation
Neither the present diocesan Canon 3, nor the proposed revision allow for unexpired terms to be filled.
This proposed section will correct the deficiency.
Presented by the Committee on Constitution and Canons.

SUBSTITUTE RESOLUTION NO. 3
Parish Organization
(Passed)
Submitted by Michigan City and Wabash Valley Deaneries
RESOLVED, that Resolution 3, presented by the Diocesan Council, be referred to an ad hoc
committee composed of two representatives from each of the following:
a. the Diocesan Council,
b. the committee on Congregation Revitalization and Development,
c. the committee on Constitution and Canons,
d. the Bishop’s coordinating committee on Structure; and
e. a chairperson appointed by the Bishop; and
f. a total of two persons elected by each deanery as represented by the delegates of this convention
at a deanery meeting called by the Deans before March 1, 1998; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the committee report to the 1998 Diocesan Convention as to its deliberations and
any possible amendments to existing Canons, or other appropriate action.
Explanation
Proposed Resolution 3 will affect more than 20 congregations in the diocese significantly. As
proposed Resolution 3 is just recently presented with many unanswered and complex questions, and as there
is no provision for those congregations affected to be consulted, prudence dictates that further study occur
and that communication with all concerned parties happen so that problems may be identified and a
democratic and beneficial solution may be found.

Diocese of Northern Indiana so as to promote the ability to grow as Christian communities and stewards

AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION #4
Concerning the Appropriation of Funds
(Passed as Amended)
RESOLVED, that the appropriation of Revitalization and Development in the 1998 Diocesan Budget
be set at $31,000, with the remainder freed to be applied towards a mortgage for a new chapel at the
Wawasee Episcopal Center, Syracuse, Indiana, and shown as a separate line item, and that the original
enabling resolution setting aside a percentage of funds out of each operating budget for revitalization and
development be amended accordingly for as long as the term of the mortgage lasts;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that before any monies are expended from the Diocesan Budget for
the financing of a mortgage for the construction of a chapel at the Wawasee Episcopal Center, Syracuse,
Indiana, that the Diocesan Council receive and approve a written report from a special task force made
up of two members of Council as selected by Council, two members of the Congregational Revitalization
and Development Committee as appointed by the chairman of that Committee, two members of the mission
congregation of All Saints' Episcopal Church as appointed by the Bishop, and a chairman appointed by
the Bishop, whose sole purpose is to explain in their report how the construction of such a building will
Jurther the mission of the diocese of Northern Indiana, the Wawasee Episcopal Center and the Episcopal
Church in Syracuse, Indiana; how it will aid in the evangelization of the people of the Syracuse community
giving special regard to the location of the present site in relationship to the geographic area as a mission
85.
field; and how this construction will effect the mission congregation of All Saints' Episcopal Church as one
aspect of our common ministry using the Wawasee Episcopal Center with clear guidelines for use and
responsibility for ongoing maintenance;
BE IT FUR THER RESOL VED that the report of the task force shall be delivered to Diocesan Council
members before March 30, 1998, and that the Council shall report to the Diocese regarding the findings
and action taken; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOL VED that the Diocesan Council be authorized by this Convention to act on
behalf of the Diocese of Northern Indiana in the review, approval and acquisition of the financing for the
construction of a new chapel at the Wawasee Episcopal Center, Syracuse, Indiana, with the pertinent
financial institutions and ecclesiastical bodies.
Explanation
The purpose of this amendment is to provide the means to make clear how the building of a chapel
for the Wawasee Episcopal Center is a mission priority for the Diocese of Northern Indiana. The task force
can draw together the recommendations and understandings of earlier groups into a single concise working
document that can be used as the basis of Council's action regarding the property and the construction of
a chapel. For the deliberations of this Convention, this building is primarily an extension of the ministry
of Wawasee Episcopal Center which will be used by the mission congregation of All Saints' Episcopal
Church. Since this proposal seeks to provide a chapel/large meeting room for the Wawasee Episcopal
Center, then an explanation for why the proposed structure best meets that need is in order while keeping
in mind the needs of our mission congregation. The resolution makes explicit that Diocesan Council is the
primary body to act on behalf of the Diocese to secure any needed financing with internal funds or loans
from external lending institutions. Because this construction is on Diocesan property and is an extension
of a Diocesan ministry, this Convention, or the Council when the Convention is not in session, has ultimate
responsibility for the new building design and construction, and the ongoing maintenance of the entire
property and all buildings on the property. Clarity of reasoning, communication of goals and lines of
accountability are important for the acceptance of such a project broadly across the Diocese.
Some important questions arose from the October 5, 1997 meeting of the Fort Wayne Deanery
meeting which Council might address and report their deliberations to the diocesan family: What is the
relationship of the new building to the ongoing maintenance of the Center? What is to be done with the old
house on the property? What are the expectations of All Saints' congregation with regard to the chapel? How
will this building help the Center? What can be done to make the Center financially accessible to all
organizations within the Diocesan family? How can the Wawasee Episcopal Center become again a vital
center of our Diocese's common life?

RESOLUTION #5
(Passed)
Concerning the Diocesan Assessment
RESOLVED, that the rate of the assessment in the Diocese of Northern Indiana be set at 15,999% of
the average of the previous three years' reports of congregational operating income, and that the Diocesan
Council be authorized to adjust the 1998 Diocesan Budget accordingly.
Explanation
The needs at the local congregational level for funds to carry on and expand and develop Christian
ministry are growing. With fixed costs rising, local congregations are often hard pressed to fund old
programs, let alone expand them and develop new ones. This reduction would assist the local parishes in
performing their ministry.
